Working in Sutton Coldfield
We cover every part of Sutton Coldfield, including B72, B73 and B75, and nearby Washwood Heath (4.6 miles) and Aldridge (5 miles).
Across a large town like Sutton Coldfield, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Sutton Coldfield water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads. If your Sutton Coldfield 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
- 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
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
