Working in Blackpool
We work right across Blackpool — FY1, FY2, FY3 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Poulton-le-Fylde and Thornton-Cleveleys.
Across a large town like Blackpool, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. We quote vanity unit work in Blackpool after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. Wall-hung vanities in Blackpool homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.
Supplies across most of Lancashire 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
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
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.
