Working in Llanelli

As well as Llanelli itself (SA15), we survey in Gorseinon, Swansea and Ammanford.

Homes in and around Llanelli vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Wall-hung vanities in Llanelli homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. If your Llanelli cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.

Water across much of Dyfed is 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

Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
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

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 Wales

Wales follows the same water fittings regulations as England. Its own Part P covers more electrical work, so a lit vanity or mirror should be connected by a registered electrician.

Vanity units in Llanelli: questions

How much does a new vanity unit cost in Llanelli?

A new vanity unit in Llanelli usually costs £350–£1,400 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover SA15 in Llanelli?

Yes. We cover all of Llanelli, including SA15, and nearby Gorseinon, Swansea and Ammanford. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Llanelli?

Who handles building control for a new vanity unit in Llanelli?

Building control for Llanelli is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Can a wall-hung vanity unit go on a stud wall?

Yes, if there are timber noggins or a fixing frame behind the board at the right height. In a new stud wall these go in before boarding; in an existing one, the board is opened, noggins are added and the wall is made good. Plasterboard fixings alone are not enough for a loaded basin unit.
