Working in Royal Leamington Spa
As well as Royal Leamington Spa itself (CV31, CV32 and CV33), we survey in Warwick, Kenilworth and Coventry.
Homes in and around Royal Leamington Spa vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Royal Leamington Spa 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 Royal Leamington Spa 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
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
Decisions to make first
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.
Gravity or pumped waste
Gravity drainage is always the first choice. A shower waste pump or macerator solves a run that cannot fall, but adds noise, a power supply and servicing.
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.
