Working in Worthing
In Worthing we cover BN11, BN12, BN13 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Lancing, 2.4 miles away, and Shoreham-by-Sea.
Across a large town like Worthing, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. For Worthing homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve. If your Worthing bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go.
Supplies across most of West Sussex are 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
- 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
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
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.
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.
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.
