Working in Bury
We work right across Bury — BL8, BL9, M25 and 2 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Radcliffe and Heywood.
In Bury, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Landlords in Bury can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. Wall-hung vanities in Bury homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.
Supplies across most of Greater Manchester 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
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
Decisions to make first
Basin type
An inset or semi-recessed basin, a one-piece moulded top, or a countertop basin on a worktop. Countertop basins need a tall tap or a wall-mounted one.
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.
