Working in Locharbriggs

We work right across Locharbriggs — DG1 — and in neighbouring Dumfries and Annan.

Locharbriggs gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We quote vanity unit work in Locharbriggs after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. Landlords in Locharbriggs can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.

Most of Dumfries and Galloway is supplied with soft water. 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

Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
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.

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 Scotland

In Scotland, a replacement vanity unit does not need a building warrant. The Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover the new tap and supplies.
