Working in Bridgwater
We cover every part of Bridgwater, including TA6, and nearby Burnham-on-Sea (7.6 miles) and Taunton (8.9 miles).
Homes in and around Bridgwater vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Bridgwater water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads. If your Bridgwater home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump.
Most of Somerset 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
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
- 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
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
Decisions to make first
Concealed or exposed valves
Concealed shower valves look neater but need an access route for servicing. Exposed bar valves are easier to reach and replace.
Pipe routes
Drilling through the middle of joists, rather than notching the tops, keeps the floor strong. Routes are planned with the joist direction in mind.
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.
