Working in Frinton-on-Sea

We work right across Frinton-on-Sea — CO13 and CO14 — and in neighbouring Walton-on-the-Naze and Clacton-on-Sea.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Frinton-on-Sea: free survey, written quote, one team. Landlords in Frinton-on-Sea can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. If your Frinton-on-Sea cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.

Supplies across most of Essex are very 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

Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls

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.

Drawers or doors

Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.

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.
