Working in Coleraine
We work right across Coleraine — BT51, BT52 and BT55 — and in neighbouring Limavady and Magherafelt.
Homes in and around Coleraine vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Landlords in Coleraine can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. We quote vanity unit work in Coleraine after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.
Water across much of County Londonderry 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
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
Decisions to make first
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.
Drawers or doors
Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.
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.
