Working in Houghton-Le-Spring
We work right across Houghton-Le-Spring — DH4, SR3 and SR4 — and in neighbouring Chester-le-Street and Washington.
In Houghton-Le-Spring, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Houghton-Le-Spring home has uneven walls, fillers and end panels are scribed to them on site rather than left with gaps. For Houghton-Le-Spring homeowners keeping their existing tiles, a furniture run can often go in over one to three days.
Most of Tyne and Wear 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
- A concealed cistern or cistern frame, with an isolation valve you can reach through the flush plate or a panel
- Fillers and end panels scribed to the walls, and the worktop sealed with silicone
- Measuring every wall for length, height and how far it is out of square
- Tall units fixed to the wall, doors adjusted and soft-close hinges set
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.
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.
