Working in Bodmin

In Bodmin we cover PL31; we also cover St Austell, 9.2 miles away, and Newquay.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Bodmin: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Bodmin water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. Wall-hung vanities in Bodmin homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.

Water across much of Cornwall is soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away

Decisions to make first

Drawers or doors

Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.

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.

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.

A new vanity unit in Bodmin usually costs £350–£1,550 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the water hard in Bodmin?

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

Building control for Bodmin 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 Bodmin.

What height should a vanity unit be?

Most basins are set with the rim around 800 to 900 mm above the floor. A wall-hung unit lets you choose the height, which helps taller households; a floor-standing unit is fixed by its cabinet height.
