Working in Stratford-upon-Avon
We work right across Stratford-upon-Avon — CV37 — and in neighbouring Warwick and Royal Leamington Spa.
Homes in and around Stratford-upon-Avon vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Stratford-upon-Avon bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go. In Stratford-upon-Avon flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind.
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
- 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
- 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
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.
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.
