Working in Becontree
We work right across Becontree — IG3, RM8 and RM9 — and in neighbouring Dagenham and Barking.
In Becontree, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. We quote vanity unit work in Becontree after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. Wall-hung vanities in Becontree homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.
Most of Greater London has very hard water. 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
- 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
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
