Working in Mitcham

We work right across Mitcham — CR4, SM4 and SW17 — and in neighbouring Morden and Wimbledon.

In Mitcham, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Mitcham water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Mitcham bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.

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
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
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall

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.

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.

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.
