Working in Evesham

We work right across Evesham — WR11 — and in neighbouring Tewkesbury and Stratford-upon-Avon.

In Evesham, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Evesham water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads. If your Evesham home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump.

Supplies across most of Worcestershire are 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

Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
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

Decisions to make first

Pipe routes

Drilling through the middle of joists, rather than notching the tops, keeps the floor strong. Routes are planned with the joist direction in mind.

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.

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.
