Working in Kempston

We work right across Kempston — MK42 — and in neighbouring Bedford and Ampthill.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Kempston: free survey, written quote, one team. We quote vanity unit work in Kempston after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. If your Kempston cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.

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.

What the job includes

A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal

Decisions to make first

Width

Compact units around 400 mm wide suit cloakrooms; family bathrooms often take 600 to 800 mm for one basin and 1200 mm or more for two.

Waste and overflow

A basin with an overflow takes a slotted waste; one without needs an unslotted waste, often a push-button 'click-clack' type.

Rules that apply in England

In England, the tap and supply pipework come under the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999. A new waste connection to the soil stack can be Part H work, and adding a light to the unit or above it is notifiable under Part P.

Who handles building control for a new vanity unit in Kempston?

Building control for Kempston is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

What size vanity unit do I need?

Measure the wall and leave room to stand at the basin and open the door. Cloakroom units can be around 400 mm wide; most family bathrooms take 600 to 800 mm for a single basin and 1200 mm or more for a double. For a whole wall of storage, look at fitted bathroom furniture.
