Working in Beckenham
In Beckenham we cover BR3, SE20 and SE26; we also cover Catford, 2.5 miles away, and Croydon.
In Beckenham, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Beckenham cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. Landlords in Beckenham 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
- 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
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
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.
Basin type
An inset or semi-recessed basin, a one-piece moulded top, or a countertop basin on a worktop. Countertop basins need a tall tap or a wall-mounted one.
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.
