Working in Hayes

In Hayes we cover UB3, UB4 and UB11; we also cover Southall, 2.3 miles away, and Heston.

In Hayes, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. Landlords in Hayes can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Hayes bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.

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

Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Hayes?

Who handles building control for a new vanity unit in Hayes?

Building control for Hayes is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Can I replace a pedestal basin with a vanity unit?

Yes. The existing supply and waste positions usually work with a vanity unit, sometimes with the waste lowered or moved slightly to clear a drawer. The tiles often need patching where the pedestal and basin sat.
