Working in Putney

We cover every part of Putney, including SW6, SW15 and SW18, and nearby Fulham (1.6 miles) and Wimbledon (2.7 miles).

London homes in Putney often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If your Putney cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. If your Putney water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.

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

Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
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

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung units leave the floor clear and are easy to clean under, but need a strong wall. Floor-standing units hold more and suit weak or uneven walls.

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.

Vanity units in Putney: questions

How much should I budget for a new vanity unit in Putney?

A new vanity unit in Putney usually costs £450–£1,900 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover SW6 in Putney?

Yes. We cover all of Putney, including SW6, SW15 and SW18, and nearby Fulham, Wimbledon and Chiswick. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Putney?

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

Building control for Putney 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.

Is a wall-hung or floor-standing vanity unit better?

Neither suits every room. Wall-hung units show more floor, make a small bathroom feel larger and are easy to clean under, but need a wall that can carry them. Floor-standing units hold more and suit uneven or weak walls.
