Working in Weston-super-Mare
We cover every part of Weston-super-Mare, including BS22 and BS23, and nearby Burnham-on-Sea (7.5 miles) and Clevedon (8.4 miles).
Weston-super-Mare has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. For Weston-super-Mare homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve. If your Weston-super-Mare home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump.
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
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
- 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
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.
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.
