Working in Burnham-on-Sea
We cover every part of Burnham-on-Sea, including TA8, and nearby Weston-super-Mare (7.5 miles) and Bridgwater (7.6 miles).
Burnham-on-Sea gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Burnham-on-Sea home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump. If your Burnham-on-Sea water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads.
Water across much of Somerset is hard. 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
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
