Working in Keighley
In Keighley we cover BD21 and BD22; we also cover Bingley, 3.1 miles away, and Baildon.
In Keighley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Keighley home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump. For Keighley 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
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
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.
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.
