Working in Wallsend
We cover every part of Wallsend, including NE6, NE28 and NE31, and nearby Hebburn (1.4 miles) and Jarrow (2.1 miles).
In Wallsend, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Wallsend bathroom has pipes running along the walls, a fitted run can box them in neatly while adding storage. If your Wallsend home has uneven walls, fillers and end panels are scribed to them on site rather than left with gaps.
Water across much of Tyne and Wear is soft. 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 worktop cut to length, with basin and tap cut-outs and sealed edges
- 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
- Removal of the old basin, WC or cabinets, with redundant supplies capped
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.
Unit depth
Slimline units are shallower and suit narrow rooms; standard-depth units hold more and give a wider worktop over the cistern.
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.
