Working in Carshalton
In Carshalton we cover SM1, SM5 and SM6; we also cover Sutton, 1.9 miles away, and Mitcham.
London homes in Carshalton often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. Wall-hung vanities in Carshalton homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. If your Carshalton cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.
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 check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
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.
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.
