Working in Sutton in Ashfield
As well as Sutton in Ashfield itself (NG15 and NG17), we survey in Kirkby in Ashfield, Mansfield and Mansfield Woodhouse.
In Sutton in Ashfield, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Sutton in Ashfield bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go. If your Sutton in Ashfield home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump.
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
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
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.
