Which towns do we cover in Leicestershire?
Water across much of Leicestershire is 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. If you are in Leicester 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
- Measuring every wall for length, height and how far it is out of square
- A worktop cut to length, with basin and tap cut-outs and sealed edges
- Fillers and end panels scribed to the walls, and the worktop sealed with silicone
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.
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.
