Working in Horley

In Horley we cover RH6; we also cover Crawley, 4.4 miles away, and Redhill.

Horley gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In Horley flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind. Plumbing surveys in Horley include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote.

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
New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down

Decisions to make first

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.

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.
