Working in Poole
In Poole we cover BH12, BH13, BH14 and 3 more postcode districts; we also cover Bournemouth, 4.6 miles away, and Ferndown.
Across a large town like Poole, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. We quote vanity unit work in Poole after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. Wall-hung vanities in Poole homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.
Supplies across most of Dorset are hard. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
