Working in Blaydon-on-Tyne

We work right across Blaydon-on-Tyne — NE15, NE21 and NE40 — and in neighbouring Whickham and Newburn.

Blaydon-on-Tyne gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Blaydon-on-Tyne bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. If your Blaydon-on-Tyne cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.

Most of Tyne and Wear 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

Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
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
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side

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.

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.
