Working in Stourbridge
We cover every part of Stourbridge, including DY5, DY8 and DY9, and nearby Brierley Hill (2 miles) and Kingswinford (3.1 miles).
In Stourbridge, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Stourbridge water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads. For Stourbridge homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve.
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
- 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
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- 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.
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.
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.
