Working in Luton

As well as Luton itself (LU1, LU2, LU3 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Dunstable, Harpenden and Hitchin.

Luton is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If your Luton cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. We quote vanity unit work in Luton after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.

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

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
Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

More about vanity units

Vanity units in Luton: questions

What is the price of a new vanity unit in Luton?

A new vanity unit in Luton usually costs £350–£1,600 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover LU1 in Luton?

Yes. We cover all of Luton, including LU1, LU2, LU3 and LU4, and nearby Dunstable, Harpenden and Hitchin. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Luton?

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

Building control for Luton 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.

Can a wall-hung vanity unit go on a stud wall?

Yes, if there are timber noggins or a fixing frame behind the board at the right height. In a new stud wall these go in before boarding; in an existing one, the board is opened, noggins are added and the wall is made good. Plasterboard fixings alone are not enough for a loaded basin unit.
