Working in Bloxwich
In Bloxwich we cover WS2, WS3 and WV12; we also cover Walsall, 2.4 miles away, and Great Wyrley.
In Bloxwich, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Plumbing surveys in Bloxwich include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote. If your Bloxwich water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads.
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
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
- 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
Decisions to make first
Shower supply
Combi boilers and unvented cylinders give mains pressure. A gravity system with a cold tank may need a pump, but a pump must never be connected to the mains.
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.
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.
