Working in Braintree
We work right across Braintree — CM7 and CM77 — and in neighbouring Witham and Chelmsford.
Homes in and around Braintree vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Rented homes in Braintree are well served by slab doors and sealed worktops, which stand up to a change of tenants. If your Braintree bathroom has pipes running along the walls, a fitted run can box them in neatly while adding storage.
Water across much of Essex is very hard. 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.
What the job includes
- Removal of the old basin, WC or cabinets, with redundant supplies capped
- Measuring every wall for length, height and how far it is out of square
- A concealed cistern or cistern frame, with an isolation valve you can reach through the flush plate or a panel
- Basin, tap and waste connected, and the WC pan fixed and joined to the soil pipe
Decisions to make first
Lighting in the run
Plinth lights and an illuminated mirror cabinet must be planned at first fix, because the cables run inside the furniture and need RCD protection.
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.
Rules that apply in England
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.
