Working in Sunderland
In Sunderland we cover SR1, SR2, SR6 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Seaham, 4.8 miles away, and Washington.
Sunderland is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Sunderland bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. We quote vanity unit work in Sunderland after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.
Water across much of Tyne and Wear is soft. 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
- 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
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
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.
