Working in Brighton
We cover every part of Brighton, including BN1, BN2, BN3 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Shoreham-by-Sea (5.9 miles) and Peacehaven (6.3 miles).
In a city the size of Brighton, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. Wall-hung vanities in Brighton homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. If your Brighton water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.
Water across much of East Sussex is 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
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
- 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
- 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.
Basin type
An inset or semi-recessed basin, a one-piece moulded top, or a countertop basin on a worktop. Countertop basins need a tall tap or a wall-mounted one.
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.
