Working in Newton Aycliffe

We work right across Newton Aycliffe — DL4 and DL5 — and in neighbouring Bishop Auckland and Spennymoor.

Homes in and around Newton Aycliffe vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Wall-hung vanities in Newton Aycliffe homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. We quote vanity unit work in Newton Aycliffe after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.

Supplies across most of County Durham are 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

A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall

Decisions to make first

One basin or two

Two basins help a busy household if the wall is long enough. In a smaller room, one basin with a longer top often works better.

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung units leave the floor clear and are easy to clean under, but need a strong wall. Floor-standing units hold more and suit weak or uneven walls.

Rules that apply in England

In England, the tap and supply pipework come under the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999. A new waste connection to the soil stack can be Part H work, and adding a light to the unit or above it is notifiable under Part P.

Is the water hard in Newton Aycliffe?

Is a wall-hung or floor-standing vanity unit better?

Neither suits every room. Wall-hung units show more floor, make a small bathroom feel larger and are easy to clean under, but need a wall that can carry them. Floor-standing units hold more and suit uneven or weak walls.
