Working in Southall
In Southall we cover UB1, UB2, UB5 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Greenford, 1.5 miles away, and Heston.
In Southall, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Southall bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. Wall-hung vanities in Southall homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.
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
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
- 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
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
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.
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.
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.
