Working in Burton upon Trent
We work right across Burton upon Trent — DE14 and DE15 — and in neighbouring Swadlincote and Derby.
Burton upon Trent has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. In Burton upon Trent flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind. If your Burton upon Trent 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
- 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
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
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.
