Working in Cheltenham
In Cheltenham we cover GL50, GL51 and GL53; we also cover Tewkesbury, 7.2 miles away, and Gloucester.
Cheltenham has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. Wall-hung vanities in Cheltenham homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. Landlords in Cheltenham can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.
Supplies across most of Gloucestershire are 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
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
- 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
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Decisions to make first
Drawers or doors
Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.
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.
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.
