Working in Gloucester

We cover every part of Gloucester, including GL1, GL2 and GL4, and nearby Cheltenham (7.4 miles) and Stroud (8.2 miles).

In a city the size of Gloucester, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. Landlords in Gloucester can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Gloucester bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.

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

Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
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

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.

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung units leave the floor clear and are easy to clean under, but need a strong wall. Floor-standing units hold more and suit weak or uneven walls.

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.

Vanity units in Gloucester: questions

How much should I budget for a new vanity unit in Gloucester?

A new vanity unit in Gloucester usually costs £350–£1,550 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover GL1 in Gloucester?

Yes. We cover all of Gloucester, including GL1, GL2 and GL4, and nearby Cheltenham, Stroud and Tewkesbury. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Gloucester?

Who handles building control for a new vanity unit in Gloucester?

Building control for Gloucester is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Can a wall-hung vanity unit go on a stud wall?

Yes, if there are timber noggins or a fixing frame behind the board at the right height. In a new stud wall these go in before boarding; in an existing one, the board is opened, noggins are added and the wall is made good. Plasterboard fixings alone are not enough for a loaded basin unit.
