Working in Haywards Heath
We work right across Haywards Heath — RH16 — and in neighbouring Burgess Hill and Crawley.
In Haywards Heath, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Haywards Heath water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads. Plumbing surveys in Haywards Heath include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote.
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
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
Decisions to make first
Concealed or exposed valves
Concealed shower valves look neater but need an access route for servicing. Exposed bar valves are easier to reach and replace.
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.
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.
