Working in Halifax
As well as Halifax itself (HD6, HX1, HX2 and 4 more postcode districts), we survey in Elland, Brighouse and Huddersfield.
Across a large town like Halifax, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. Plumbing surveys in Halifax include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote. If your Halifax bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go.
Most of West Yorkshire is supplied with soft water. 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
- 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
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
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.
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.
