Working in Catford
We work right across Catford — SE4, SE6 and SE13 — and in neighbouring Blackheath and Greenwich.
In Catford, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Catford bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. If your Catford 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
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
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.
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.
