Working in Tipton
We work right across Tipton — DY1, DY4 and WV14 — and in neighbouring Dudley and Wednesbury.
In Tipton, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Tipton bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. We quote vanity unit work in Tipton after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.
Hardness differs from one part of the West Midlands to the next. 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
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
Decisions to make first
Waste and overflow
A basin with an overflow takes a slotted waste; one without needs an unslotted waste, often a push-button 'click-clack' type.
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.
