Working in Rotherham
As well as Rotherham itself (S60, S61, S64 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Rawmarsh, Wath upon Dearne and Mexborough.
Across a large town like Rotherham, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Rotherham bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go. If your Rotherham 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 South Yorkshire is 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
- 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
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
