Working in Mansfield Woodhouse
As well as Mansfield Woodhouse itself (NG18, NG19 and NG20), we survey in Mansfield, Sutton in Ashfield and Kirkby in Ashfield.
Mansfield Woodhouse gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Mansfield Woodhouse home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump. If your Mansfield Woodhouse water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads.
Water across much of Nottinghamshire is hard. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
Decisions to make first
Pipe routes
Drilling through the middle of joists, rather than notching the tops, keeps the floor strong. Routes are planned with the joist direction in mind.
Shower supply
Combi boilers and unvented cylinders give mains pressure. A gravity system with a cold tank may need a pump, but a pump must never be connected to the mains.
Rules that apply in England
In England, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 apply. New drainage or a new connection to the soil stack can be building regulations work under Part H, and a macerator or pumped WC is acceptable only where there is also a WC on gravity drainage elsewhere in the home.
