Working in Briton Ferry
We work right across Briton Ferry — SA7 and SA12 — and in neighbouring Neath and Clydach.
In Briton Ferry, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Briton Ferry bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go. If your Briton Ferry water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads.
Water across much of West Glamorgan is soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. 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
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
- 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.
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.
Rules that apply in Wales
Wales also uses the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and has its own Part H for drainage. The same rule on macerators applies: there must be a gravity-drained WC elsewhere in the home.
