Working in Barrow in Furness
We work right across Barrow in Furness — LA13, LA14 and LA15 — and in neighbouring Heysham and Morecambe.
In Barrow in Furness, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Landlords in Barrow in Furness can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Barrow in Furness bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.
Supplies across most of Cumbria are 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
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Decisions to make first
Width
Compact units around 400 mm wide suit cloakrooms; family bathrooms often take 600 to 800 mm for one basin and 1200 mm or more for two.
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.
