Working in Nuneaton

As well as Nuneaton itself (CV10 and CV11), we survey in Bedworth, Hinckley and Earl Shilton.

Nuneaton has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Nuneaton 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 Nuneaton include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote.

Water across much of Warwickshire 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

Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Nuneaton?

Who handles building control for bathroom plumbing work in Nuneaton?

Building control for Nuneaton is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Can a toilet be moved anywhere in a bathroom?

Not anywhere. A WC needs a 110 mm waste with enough fall to reach the soil stack, and the joists limit which way that pipe can run under the floor. Where gravity drainage cannot work, a macerator is an option only if the home also has a WC on gravity drainage.
