Working in Bradford
In Bradford we cover BD1, BD3 and BD5; we also cover Pudsey, 3.7 miles away, and Cleckheaton.
Bradford is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. Plumbing surveys in Bradford include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote. For Bradford homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve.
Water across much of West Yorkshire is soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. 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
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
