Working in Darton
We cover every part of Darton, including S71 and S75, and nearby Barnsley (3.1 miles) and Wakefield (6.8 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Darton: free survey, written quote, one team. In Darton flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind. For Darton homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve.
Most of South Yorkshire has moderately hard water. 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
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
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.
Hard water
In hard water areas, a scale reducer or water softener protects valves, shower heads and glass. Keep an unsoftened tap in the kitchen for drinking.
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.
