Working in Highbury
In Highbury we cover N1, N5 and N7; we also cover Islington, 1 miles away, and Holloway.
London homes in Highbury often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If your Highbury cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. We quote vanity unit work in Highbury after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.
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
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
