Working in Chester-le-Street
We cover every part of Chester-le-Street, including DH2, and nearby Washington (3.7 miles) and Houghton-Le-Spring (4.5 miles).
In Chester-le-Street, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We measure Chester-le-Street bathrooms wall by wall before ordering, so the run is made for your room. If your Chester-le-Street bathroom has pipes running along the walls, a fitted run can box them in neatly while adding storage.
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
- A concealed cistern or cistern frame, with an isolation valve you can reach through the flush plate or a panel
- Tall units fixed to the wall, doors adjusted and soft-close hinges set
- Fillers and end panels scribed to the walls, and the worktop sealed with silicone
- Removal of the old basin, WC or cabinets, with redundant supplies capped
Decisions to make first
Cistern type
A back-to-wall pan can use a cistern that sits inside the WC unit, which is simple to service. A wall-hung WC needs a load-bearing frame built in behind the run.
Carcass board
Moisture-resistant board with sealed edges is the minimum. Some ranges use a PVC-based or similar carcass that copes better with splashes and leaks.
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.
