Working in Chesterfield

In Chesterfield we cover S40 and S41; we also cover Staveley, 3 miles away, and Dronfield.

Across a large town like Chesterfield, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Chesterfield bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. Wall-hung vanities in Chesterfield homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.

Most of Derbyshire has moderately hard water. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
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 new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin

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.

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.
