Working in Daventry
We cover every part of Daventry, including NN11, and nearby Rugby (9 miles) and Northampton (11.7 miles).
In Daventry, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Daventry water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. Wall-hung vanities in Daventry homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.
Water across much of Northamptonshire is hard. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Decisions to make first
Wall-hung or floor-standing
Wall-hung units leave the floor clear and are easy to clean under, but need a strong wall. Floor-standing units hold more and suit weak or uneven walls.
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.
