Working in Acton

As well as Acton itself (W3, W4 and W5), we survey in Chiswick, Shepherds Bush and Willesden.

London homes in Acton often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If your Acton cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Acton bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.

Water across much of Greater London 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

Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall

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.

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.

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

Building control for Acton 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.

What size vanity unit do I need?

Measure the wall and leave room to stand at the basin and open the door. Cloakroom units can be around 400 mm wide; most family bathrooms take 600 to 800 mm for a single basin and 1200 mm or more for a double. For a whole wall of storage, look at fitted bathroom furniture.
