Homes in and around Newark on Trent vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything.

If your Newark on Trent water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads.
Most of Nottinghamshire has hard water. 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
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
Decisions to make first
Copper or plastic
Copper is rigid and suits pipes on show or near the boiler. Plastic is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.
Hard water
In hard water areas, a scale reducer or water softener protects valves, shower heads and glass. Keep an unsoftened tap in the kitchen for drinking.
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.
