Working in Whitstable
As well as Whitstable itself (CT5), we survey in Herne Bay, Canterbury and Faversham.
In Whitstable, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Rented homes in Whitstable are well served by slab doors and sealed worktops, which stand up to a change of tenants. If you are in Whitstable and short of storage, a tall unit at the end of the run holds what would otherwise sit on the floor.
Supplies across most of Kent are 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
- Tall units fixed to the wall, doors adjusted and soft-close hinges set
- Fillers and end panels scribed to the walls, and the worktop sealed with silicone
- Supply of carcasses, doors, plinths, fillers and end panels in your chosen finish
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.
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.
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.
