Working in Bromsgrove

We cover every part of Bromsgrove, including B60 and B61, and nearby Redditch (5.2 miles) and Droitwich (6.1 miles).

In Bromsgrove, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In Bromsgrove flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind. If your Bromsgrove home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump.

Water across much of Worcestershire is moderately hard. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving

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.

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.

They are good practice on every fitting. An isolation valve on each tap, cistern and shower supply lets that fitting be repaired or replaced without draining the system or turning off the whole house. We fit them on new bathroom plumbing as a matter of course.
