Working in Walkden
We cover every part of Walkden, including M28 and M38, and nearby Farnworth (2.3 miles) and Swinton (2.4 miles).
Homes in and around Walkden vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are in Walkden and short of storage, a tall unit at the end of the run holds what would otherwise sit on the floor. If your Walkden home has uneven walls, fillers and end panels are scribed to them on site rather than left with gaps.
Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- 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
- Supply of carcasses, doors, plinths, fillers and end panels in your chosen finish
- Measuring every wall for length, height and how far it is out of square
Decisions to make first
Unit depth
Slimline units are shallower and suit narrow rooms; standard-depth units hold more and give a wider worktop over the cistern.
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.
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.
