Working in Cambridge
We cover every part of Cambridge, including CB1, CB2 and CB4, and nearby Royston (12.1 miles) and St Ives (12.3 miles).
Cambridge 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 Cambridge water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. We quote vanity unit work in Cambridge after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.
Most of Cambridgeshire 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
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
- 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
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
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.
Drawers or doors
Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.
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.
