Working in Tyldesley

We work right across Tyldesley — M29, M38 and M46 — and in neighbouring Atherton and Leigh.

Homes in and around Tyldesley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Tyldesley bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. If your Tyldesley cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.

Water across much of Greater Manchester is 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
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away

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.

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.

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.
