Working in Bishop Auckland
As well as Bishop Auckland itself (DL4 and DL14), we survey in Spennymoor, Newton Aycliffe and Durham.
In Bishop Auckland, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Bishop Auckland homeowners keeping their existing tiles, a furniture run can often go in over one to three days. If your Bishop Auckland home has uneven walls, fillers and end panels are scribed to them on site rather than left with gaps.
Water across much of County Durham is moderately hard. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Measuring every wall for length, height and how far it is out of square
- A concealed cistern or cistern frame, with an isolation valve you can reach through the flush plate or a panel
- Supply of carcasses, doors, plinths, fillers and end panels in your chosen finish
- Tall units fixed to the wall, doors adjusted and soft-close hinges set
Decisions to make first
Tall storage
A tall unit at the end of the run takes towels and cleaning products off the floor. Check it clears the door, window and towel rail.
Door style
Slab doors are the easiest to wipe down. Shaker doors look traditional but have grooves that collect dust. Handleless push-to-open doors suit a plain, modern room.
Rules that apply in England
In England, wiring a lit mirror or plinth lights means altering a circuit in a room with a bath or shower, which is notifiable under Part P. The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 cover the new WC and basin taps.
