Working in Newcastle upon Tyne
In Newcastle upon Tyne we cover NE1, NE2, NE3 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Gateshead, 0.9 miles away, and Felling.
Newcastle upon Tyne is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. We quote vanity unit work in Newcastle upon Tyne after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. Wall-hung vanities in Newcastle upon Tyne homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.
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
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
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.
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.
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.
