Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Horsforth: free survey, written quote, one team. In Horsforth flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind. If your Horsforth bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go.
Supplies across most of West Yorkshire are 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
- 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
- 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
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.
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.
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.
