Working in Washington
As well as Washington itself (NE37 and NE38), we survey in Chester-le-Street, Felling and Houghton-Le-Spring.
In Washington, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are in Washington and short of storage, a tall unit at the end of the run holds what would otherwise sit on the floor. If your Washington bathroom has pipes running along the walls, a fitted run can box them in neatly while adding storage.
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 worktop cut to length, with basin and tap cut-outs and sealed edges
- Tall units fixed to the wall, doors adjusted and soft-close hinges set
- Removal of the old basin, WC or cabinets, with redundant supplies capped
- Measuring every wall for length, height and how far it is out of square
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.
