Which towns do we cover in County Fermanagh?
Most of County Fermanagh is supplied with soft water. 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. We quote vanity unit work in Enniskillen after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.
What the job includes
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
Decisions to make first
Width
Compact units around 400 mm wide suit cloakrooms; family bathrooms often take 600 to 800 mm for one basin and 1200 mm or more for two.
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.
Drawers or doors
Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.
Waste and overflow
A basin with an overflow takes a slotted waste; one without needs an unslotted waste, often a push-button 'click-clack' type.
Rules that apply in Northern Ireland
Replacing a basin with a vanity unit does not need planning permission or building regulations approval. The new tap must meet the water fittings rules, including protection against backflow, and the waste should connect to the existing drainage through a proper trap. If the unit has a light, or a lit mirror goes above it, the electrical work must suit the zone it sits in under BS 7671 and be RCD protected.
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.
