Working in Ewell
As well as Ewell itself (KT4, KT17 and KT19), we survey in Epsom, Sutton and Banstead.
Homes in and around Ewell vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Ewell bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go. For Ewell homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve.
Water across much of Surrey is hard. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- 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
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
- 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.
Copper or plastic
Copper is rigid and suits pipes on show or near the boiler. Plastic is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.
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.
