Working in Calne

As well as Calne itself (SN11), we survey in Chippenham, Devizes and Melksham.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Calne: free survey, written quote, one team. For Calne homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve. If your Calne water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads.

Supplies across most of Wiltshire are hard. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. 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
Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Do you cover SN11 in Calne?

Yes. We cover all of Calne, including SN11, and nearby Chippenham, Devizes and Melksham. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can a toilet be moved anywhere in a bathroom?

Not anywhere. A WC needs a 110 mm waste with enough fall to reach the soil stack, and the joists limit which way that pipe can run under the floor. Where gravity drainage cannot work, a macerator is an option only if the home also has a WC on gravity drainage.
