Working in Great Sankey
In Great Sankey we cover WA5; we also cover Warrington, 2.5 miles away, and Newton-le-Willows.
Homes in and around Great Sankey vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Wall-hung vanities in Great Sankey homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. Landlords in Great Sankey can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.
Water across much of Cheshire is 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
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
