Working in Bishop Auckland
In Bishop Auckland we cover DL4 and DL14; we also cover Spennymoor, 4.2 miles away, and Newton Aycliffe.
In Bishop Auckland, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Bishop Auckland home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting. If you have bought a suite and need it fitted in Bishop Auckland, we check the product list before booking so the job is not held up by a missing part.
Supplies across most of County Durham are moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us
- A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked
- Fitting the suite, furniture, screen and accessories, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
- First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
Decisions to make first
Same layout or new
Keeping the layout keeps labour in the £2,200 to £4,000 range; moving the WC, shower or basin adds pipework and days.
Tiling
Some customers tile themselves or use a separate tiler. That can work, but the order of trades and who tanks the shower area must be agreed first.
Rules that apply in England
In England, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 apply to the products you supply as well as to the installation. Electrical changes such as new lights or a fan are notifiable under Part P and are done by a registered electrician or notified to building control. New drainage or a new connection to the soil stack can be Part H work.
