Working in Chelsea
As well as Chelsea itself (SW3, SW7 and SW10), we survey in Battersea, Fulham and Shepherds Bush.
In Chelsea, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Chelsea water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. Wall-hung vanities in Chelsea homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.
Supplies across most of Greater London are 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
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
Decisions to make first
Wall-hung or floor-standing
Wall-hung units leave the floor clear and are easy to clean under, but need a strong wall. Floor-standing units hold more and suit weak or uneven walls.
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.
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.
