Working in Thornaby-on-Tees
We work right across Thornaby-on-Tees — TS16, TS17 and TS18 — and in neighbouring Stockton-on-Tees and Yarm.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Thornaby-on-Tees: free survey, written quote, one team. We survey in Thornaby-on-Tees before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen. If your Thornaby-on-Tees home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting.
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
- Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
- A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
- Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
- First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
Decisions to make first
Making good
Decide whether you want the quote to cover making good and decorating, or to stop at the tiles so you can paint yourself.
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.
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.
