Working in Yarm

We cover every part of Yarm, including TS15, TS16 and TS17, and nearby Thornaby-on-Tees (3.1 miles) and Stockton-on-Tees (4.7 miles).

Yarm gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Yarm bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. Landlords in Yarm can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.

Water across much of County Durham is 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
Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
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.

Waste and overflow

A basin with an overflow takes a slotted waste; one without needs an unslotted waste, often a push-button 'click-clack' type.

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.
