Working in Wimborne Minster
As well as Wimborne Minster itself (BH17, BH18 and BH21), we survey in Ferndown, Poole and Bournemouth.
Wimborne Minster gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Wimborne Minster bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. If your Wimborne Minster cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.
Most of Dorset has hard water. 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
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
