Working in Leighton Buzzard

As well as Leighton Buzzard itself (LU7), we survey in Dunstable, Bletchley and Milton Keynes.

In Leighton Buzzard, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We quote vanity unit work in Leighton Buzzard after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. If your Leighton Buzzard cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.

Supplies across most of Bedfordshire 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

Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side

Decisions to make first

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung units leave the floor clear and are easy to clean under, but need a strong wall. Floor-standing units hold more and suit weak or uneven walls.

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.
