Which towns do we cover in Bedfordshire?
Most of Bedfordshire has very hard water. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier. If you are in Luton and short of storage, a tall unit at the end of the run holds what would otherwise sit on the floor.
What the job includes
- Supply of carcasses, doors, plinths, fillers and end panels in your chosen finish
- Tall units fixed to the wall, doors adjusted and soft-close hinges set
- Basin, tap and waste connected, and the WC pan fixed and joined to the soil pipe
- Removal of the old basin, WC or cabinets, with redundant supplies capped
- A concealed cistern or cistern frame, with an isolation valve you can reach through the flush plate or a panel
- A worktop cut to length, with basin and tap cut-outs and sealed edges
Decisions to make first
Carcass board
Moisture-resistant board with sealed edges is the minimum. Some ranges use a PVC-based or similar carcass that copes better with splashes and leaks.
Cistern type
A back-to-wall pan can use a cistern that sits inside the WC unit, which is simple to service. A wall-hung WC needs a load-bearing frame built in behind the run.
Door style
Slab doors are the easiest to wipe down. Shaker doors look traditional but have grooves that collect dust. Handleless push-to-open doors suit a plain, modern room.
Tall storage
A tall unit at the end of the run takes towels and cleaning products off the floor. Check it clears the door, window and towel rail.
Rules that apply in England
Fitted furniture itself is not controlled by building regulations, but what goes into it is. A new WC must meet the water fittings rules, with a maximum 6-litre flush and backflow protection. Illuminated mirrors, cabinet lights and shaver points must suit the bathroom zones under BS 7671, on circuits with 30 mA RCD protection, and apart from shaver supply units, sockets must be at least 3 m from the edge of zone 1.
In England, wiring a lit mirror or plinth lights means altering a circuit in a room with a bath or shower, which is notifiable under Part P. The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 cover the new WC and basin taps.
