Working in Farnham
As well as Farnham itself (GU9 and GU10), we survey in Aldershot, Fleet and Farnborough.
In Farnham, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In Farnham flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind. If your Farnham water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads.
Supplies across most of Surrey are 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
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
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.
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.
