Working in Bartley Green
We work right across Bartley Green — B29, B32 and B62 — and in neighbouring Halesowen and Smethwick.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Bartley Green: free survey, written quote, one team. For Bartley Green homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve. Plumbing surveys in Bartley Green include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote.
Hardness differs from one part of the West Midlands to the next. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
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.
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 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.
