Working in Kirkcaldy
We cover every part of Kirkcaldy, including KY1 and KY2, and nearby Glenrothes (5.4 miles) and Dunfermline (11.9 miles).
Homes in and around Kirkcaldy vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Kirkcaldy water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. If your Kirkcaldy cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.
Most of Fife is supplied with soft water. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
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.
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.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, a replacement vanity unit does not need a building warrant. The Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover the new tap and supplies.
