Working in Emsworth
As well as Emsworth itself (PO9 and PO10), we survey in Havant, South Hayling and Hayling Island.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Emsworth: free survey, written quote, one team. Plumbing surveys in Emsworth include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote. If your Emsworth home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump.
Water across much of West Sussex is hard. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. 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
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- 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.
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.
