Working in Romford
We cover every part of Romford, including RM1, RM2, RM3 and 6 more postcode districts, and nearby Hornchurch (1.8 miles) and Dagenham (1.9 miles).
In Romford, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. We quote vanity unit work in Romford after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Romford 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
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
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.
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.
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.
