Working in Swadlincote
We cover every part of Swadlincote, including DE11, and nearby Burton upon Trent (4.2 miles) and Coalville (8.6 miles).
Homes in and around Swadlincote vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Wall-hung vanities in Swadlincote homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. If your Swadlincote 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
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
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.
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.
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.
