Working in Brierley Hill

We work right across Brierley Hill — DY2, DY5 and DY8 — and in neighbouring Stourbridge and Dudley.

In Brierley Hill, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Brierley Hill homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve. If your Brierley Hill home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump.

Supplies across the West Midlands range from soft to hard depending on the source. 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

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
Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Brierley Hill?

Can a toilet be moved anywhere in a bathroom?

Not anywhere. A WC needs a 110 mm waste with enough fall to reach the soil stack, and the joists limit which way that pipe can run under the floor. Where gravity drainage cannot work, a macerator is an option only if the home also has a WC on gravity drainage.
