Working in Wellington
As well as Wellington itself (TF1 and TF5), we survey in Telford, Shrewsbury and Stafford.
Wellington gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Wellington home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump. In Wellington flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind.
Supplies across most of Shropshire are moderately hard. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. 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
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
