Working in Dagenham
In Dagenham we cover RM8, RM9 and RM10; we also cover Becontree, 1.6 miles away, and Romford.
In Dagenham, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Dagenham cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. Wall-hung vanities in Dagenham homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.
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
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- 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
- 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.
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.
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.
