Working in Newcastle under Lyme
In Newcastle under Lyme we cover ST5; we also cover Stoke-on-Trent, 2 miles away, and Longton.
Newcastle under Lyme has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Newcastle under Lyme bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. If your Newcastle under Lyme cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.
Supplies across most of Staffordshire are moderately hard. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
Decisions to make first
Drawers or doors
Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.
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.
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.
