Working in Rochford
We work right across Rochford — SS4 — and in neighbouring Southend-on-Sea and Rayleigh.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Rochford: free survey, written quote, one team. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Rochford bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. We quote vanity unit work in Rochford after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.
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
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
