Working in Eltham
As well as Eltham itself (SE2, SE9, SE18 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Blackheath, Welling and Catford.
London homes in Eltham often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. We quote vanity unit work in Eltham after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. Wall-hung vanities in Eltham 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
- 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
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
