Working in Walton-on-the-Naze

We cover every part of Walton-on-the-Naze, including CO13 and CO14, and nearby Frinton-on-Sea (1.6 miles) and Clacton-on-Sea (6.2 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Walton-on-the-Naze: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Walton-on-the-Naze cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. If your Walton-on-the-Naze 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 Essex is 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

A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
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

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.
