Working in Chapeltown

We cover every part of Chapeltown, including S5, S35 and S74, and nearby Hoyland Nether (2.6 miles) and Wombwell (5 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Chapeltown: free survey, written quote, one team. For Chapeltown homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve. Plumbing surveys in Chapeltown include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote.

Supplies across most of South Yorkshire 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

A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

A new WC must have a maximum flush of 6 litres under the water fittings rules in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Dual-flush WCs add a smaller flush, often around 4 litres or less, for liquids. Our hard water guide covers keeping valves and cisterns working in scale-prone areas.
