Working in Derby
In Derby we cover DE1, DE21, DE22 and 2 more postcode districts; we also cover Belper, 6.9 miles away, and Ilkeston.
In a city the size of Derby, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. We quote vanity unit work in Derby after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Derby bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.
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
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
