Working in Long Eaton

We cover every part of Long Eaton, including DE72, NG9 and NG10, and nearby Ilkeston (5.2 miles) and Nottingham (6.3 miles).

In Long Eaton, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We survey in Long Eaton before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen. If you have bought a suite and need it fitted in Long Eaton, we check the product list before booking so the job is not held up by a missing part.

Supplies across most of Derbyshire 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
First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use

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.

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.
