Working in Exeter

We cover every part of Exeter, including EX1, EX2, EX3 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Exmouth (9.2 miles) and Tiverton (12.4 miles).

In a city the size of Exeter, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Exeter water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. Landlords in Exeter can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.

Supplies across most of Devon are 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

Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side

Decisions to make first

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.

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.
