Working in Margate
In Margate we cover CT8, CT9 and CT11; we also cover Broadstairs, 2.9 miles away, and Ramsgate.
In Margate, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Margate bathroom has pipes running along the walls, a fitted run can box them in neatly while adding storage. If your Margate home has uneven walls, fillers and end panels are scribed to them on site rather than left with gaps.
Water across much of Kent 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
- Fillers and end panels scribed to the walls, and the worktop sealed with silicone
- A worktop cut to length, with basin and tap cut-outs and sealed edges
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
