Working in Biddulph
As well as Biddulph itself (ST8), we survey in Kidsgrove, Congleton and Leek.
Biddulph gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Biddulph home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump. If your Biddulph bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go.
Most of Staffordshire 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
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
