Working in Peebles
We cover every part of Peebles, including EH45, and nearby Penicuik (12.5 miles) and Galashiels (15.1 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Peebles: free survey, written quote, one team. For Peebles homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve. If your Peebles bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go.
Supplies across most of the Scottish Borders are 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
- 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
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.
Gravity or pumped waste
Gravity drainage is always the first choice. A shower waste pump or macerator solves a run that cannot fall, but adds noise, a power supply and servicing.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover new water fittings, with the same 6-litre flush limit and backflow rules. Altering drainage may need a building warrant, so check before moving a WC or adding a new connection to the stack.
