Working in Heston

In Heston we cover TW4, TW5 and UB2; we also cover Hounslow, 1.2 miles away, and Isleworth.

London homes in Heston often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. Landlords in Heston can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. We quote vanity unit work in Heston after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.

Most of Greater London has very hard water. 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

A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
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

Drawers or doors

Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.

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.
