Working in St Andrews

We work right across St Andrews — KY16 — and in neighbouring Dundee and Carnoustie.

St Andrews gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your St Andrews cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. We quote vanity unit work in St Andrews after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.

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

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
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal

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.

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.

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.

Is the home survey in St Andrews really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover KY16 in St Andrews?

Yes. The existing supply and waste positions usually work with a vanity unit, sometimes with the waste lowered or moved slightly to clear a drawer. The tiles often need patching where the pedestal and basin sat.
