Working in Droitwich

We cover every part of Droitwich, including WR9, and nearby Bromsgrove (6.1 miles) and Worcester (6.1 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Droitwich: free survey, written quote, one team. In Droitwich flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind. Plumbing surveys in Droitwich include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote.

Most of Worcestershire has moderately hard water. 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

New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Droitwich really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover WR9 in Droitwich?

Yes. We cover all of Droitwich, including WR9, and nearby Bromsgrove, Worcester and Stourport-on-Severn. 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.
