Working in Radcliffe
In Radcliffe we cover BL9, M26 and M45; we also cover Whitefield, 1.3 miles away, and Prestwich.
Homes in and around Radcliffe vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Landlords in Radcliffe can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. If your Radcliffe water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.
Most of Greater Manchester 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
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
- 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
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
Decisions to make first
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.
Drawers or doors
Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.
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.
