Working in Brent
We cover every part of Brent, including HA0, HA9, NW2 and 2 more postcode districts, and nearby Harrow (2.2 miles) and Bushey (6.7 miles).
In Brent, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Brent water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Brent bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.
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
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
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.
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.
