Working in Devizes

As well as Devizes itself (SN10), we survey in Calne, Melksham and Chippenham.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Devizes: free survey, written quote, one team. In Devizes flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind. If your Devizes water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads.

Most of Wiltshire has hard water. 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
A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
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

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.

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Devizes?

Why is my shower pressure low?

Low shower pressure usually comes from the water system rather than the shower itself. Gravity showers depend on the height of the cold tank above the shower head; combi showers are limited by the boiler's flow rate and the mains pressure; and any system can be throttled by a part-closed valve, a scaled-up shower head or a long run of narrow pipe. We measure pressure and flow at the survey to find which.
