Working in Lower Earley
We cover every part of Lower Earley, including RG2, RG5 and RG6, and nearby Reading (3 miles) and Wokingham (3.8 miles).
Homes in and around Lower Earley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Landlords in Lower Earley can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. If your Lower Earley water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.
Most of Berkshire has 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
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
Decisions to make first
One basin or two
Two basins help a busy household if the wall is long enough. In a smaller room, one basin with a longer top often works better.
Basin type
An inset or semi-recessed basin, a one-piece moulded top, or a countertop basin on a worktop. Countertop basins need a tall tap or a wall-mounted one.
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.
