Working in Canning Town
We cover every part of Canning Town, including E13, E14 and E16, and nearby Stratford (1.6 miles) and Bow (1.8 miles).
London homes in Canning Town often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. Landlords in Canning Town can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. We quote vanity unit work in Canning Town after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.
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
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- 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
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
Decisions to make first
Drawers or doors
Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.
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.
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.
