Working in Salisbury
We cover every part of Salisbury, including SP1 and SP2, and nearby Romsey (14 miles) and Andover (16.4 miles).
In a city the size of Salisbury, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Salisbury water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads. If your Salisbury bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go.
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
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
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.
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.
