Working in Grays

We work right across Grays — RM16, RM17 and RM20 — and in neighbouring Swanscombe and South Ockendon.

Grays has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. We quote vanity unit work in Grays after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. If your Grays water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.

Most of Essex has very 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

A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls

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.

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.

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

Building control for Grays 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.

What size vanity unit do I need?

Measure the wall and leave room to stand at the basin and open the door. Cloakroom units can be around 400 mm wide; most family bathrooms take 600 to 800 mm for a single basin and 1200 mm or more for a double. For a whole wall of storage, look at fitted bathroom furniture.
