Working in Truro

In Truro we cover TR1; we also cover Falmouth, 7.7 miles away, and Redruth.

Truro gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Truro bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. We quote vanity unit work in Truro after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.

Supplies across most of Cornwall are 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
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin

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.
