Working in Darlington
In Darlington we cover DL1, DL2 and DL3; we also cover Newton Aycliffe, 6.6 miles away, and Yarm.
Darlington has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If you are in Darlington and short of storage, a tall unit at the end of the run holds what would otherwise sit on the floor. If your Darlington 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
- Fillers and end panels scribed to the walls, and the worktop sealed with silicone
- Supply of carcasses, doors, plinths, fillers and end panels in your chosen finish
- Removal of the old basin, WC or cabinets, with redundant supplies capped
- A concealed cistern or cistern frame, with an isolation valve you can reach through the flush plate or a panel
Decisions to make first
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.
Lighting in the run
Plinth lights and an illuminated mirror cabinet must be planned at first fix, because the cables run inside the furniture and need RCD protection.
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.
