Working in Bangor

As well as Bangor itself (BT19 and BT20), we survey in Newtownards, Carrickfergus and Newtownabbey.

Bangor 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 Bangor cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. Landlords in Bangor can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.

Supplies across most of County Down 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

Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
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

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.

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 Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 cover the tap and supplies. A basin swap does not need building control approval.

More about vanity units

Vanity units in Bangor: questions

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

A new vanity unit in Bangor usually costs £300–£1,300 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.

Do you cover BT19 and BT20 in Bangor?

Yes. We cover all of Bangor, including BT19 and BT20, and nearby Newtownards, Carrickfergus and Newtownabbey. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Bangor?

Does a new vanity unit in Bangor need building control approval?

Building control in Bangor is run by the local district council. Where approval is needed, for example for new drainage, we tell you at the survey and handle it as part of the job.

Can a wall-hung vanity unit go on a stud wall?

Yes, if there are timber noggins or a fixing frame behind the board at the right height. In a new stud wall these go in before boarding; in an existing one, the board is opened, noggins are added and the wall is made good. Plasterboard fixings alone are not enough for a loaded basin unit.
