Working in Crewe

We work right across Crewe — CW1 and CW2 — and in neighbouring Nantwich and Sandbach.

Crewe has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Crewe bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. Landlords in Crewe can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.

Supplies across most of Cheshire are moderately hard. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. 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
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side

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.

More about vanity units

Vanity units in Crewe: questions

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

A new vanity unit in Crewe usually costs £350–£1,400 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the water hard in Crewe?

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

Building control for Crewe 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.

How long does a new vanity unit take?

Allow half a day to 1 day on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Crewe.

Is a wall-hung or floor-standing vanity unit better?

Neither suits every room. Wall-hung units show more floor, make a small bathroom feel larger and are easy to clean under, but need a wall that can carry them. Floor-standing units hold more and suit uneven or weak walls.
