Working in Blackburn
In Blackburn we cover BB1, BB2 and BB3; we also cover Darwen, 3.7 miles away, and Accrington.
Blackburn has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. For Blackburn bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is. Landlords with flats or houses in Blackburn can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies.
Supplies across most of Lancashire are soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked
- Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
- 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
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.
Fit-only or supply and fit
Fit-only lets you choose and buy every product yourself; supply and fit puts sourcing, deliveries and returns on us, with one price for everything.
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.
