Working in Huddersfield
In Huddersfield we cover HD1, HD2, HD3 and 3 more postcode districts; we also cover Elland, 3.3 miles away, and Brighouse.
Huddersfield has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. Plumbing surveys in Huddersfield include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote. For Huddersfield homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve.
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
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
