Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Ystalyfera: free survey, written quote, one team. In Ystalyfera flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind. Plumbing surveys in Ystalyfera include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote.
Water across much of Powys is soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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 Wales
Wales also uses the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and has its own Part H for drainage. The same rule on macerators applies: there must be a gravity-drained WC elsewhere in the home.
