Working in Battersea
We work right across Battersea — SW3, SW8 and SW11 — and in neighbouring Chelsea and Fulham.
In Battersea, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Battersea water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. Landlords in Battersea can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.
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
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
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 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.
