Working in Thorne
We work right across Thorne — DN8 — and in neighbouring Goole and Doncaster.
Thorne gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Thorne homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve. If your Thorne home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump.
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
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
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.
Gravity or pumped waste
Gravity drainage is always the first choice. A shower waste pump or macerator solves a run that cannot fall, but adds noise, a power supply and servicing.
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.
