Working in Ilkeston
In Ilkeston we cover DE7 and NG10; we also cover Eastwood, 2.1 miles away, and Heanor.
Homes in and around Ilkeston vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We quote vanity unit work in Ilkeston after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. If your Ilkeston water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.
Water across much of Derbyshire is moderately hard. 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
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
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.
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 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.
