Working in Chesham

We work right across Chesham — HP5 — and in neighbouring Amersham on the Hill and Amersham.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Chesham: free survey, written quote, one team. Wall-hung vanities in Chesham homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. Landlords in Chesham can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.

Most of Buckinghamshire 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

Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall

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.

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.

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.

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.
