Working in Cannock
We cover every part of Cannock, including WS11 and WS12, and nearby Great Wyrley (2.1 miles) and Burntwood (4.4 miles).
Cannock has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. For Cannock homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve. If your Cannock bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go.
Water across much of Staffordshire 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
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
Decisions to make first
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.
Concealed or exposed valves
Concealed shower valves look neater but need an access route for servicing. Exposed bar valves are easier to reach and replace.
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.
