Working in Neath
We cover every part of Neath, including SA7, SA10 and SA11, and nearby Briton Ferry (2.3 miles) and Clydach (4.3 miles).
In Neath, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Neath home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump. If your Neath bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go.
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
- 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
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
Decisions to make first
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.
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 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.
