Changes To Plumbing

All additional work that is done on domestic plumbing pipework should not have any detrimental effect on the quality of the fresh water flowing through the pipework. All companies, consumers and any individual who install water fittings and work on plumbing systems are bound by The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and the Water Industry act 1991. A Woodford Plumbers tradesmen obey the rules set out in the current regulations. We strongly recommend that you use an approved plumber who will be able to ensure that the work complies with the regulations. So, if there is a requirement to change or replace any part of the plumbing in a property it is essential that it is carried out to the highest standards of safety. The use of approved plumbing materials and the services of a professional tradesperson like a Woodford Plumber is the sensible way to deal with this issue.
