Working in Reigate

We work right across Reigate — RH1, RH2 and RH3 — and in neighbouring Redhill and Horley.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Reigate: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Reigate home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump. Plumbing surveys in Reigate include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote.

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 check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving

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.

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.
