Working in Jarrow
We cover every part of Jarrow, including NE28, NE31 and NE32, and nearby Hebburn (1.3 miles) and Wallsend (2.1 miles).
Homes in and around Jarrow vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Jarrow water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Jarrow bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.
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
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
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.
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.
