Working in Streatham

As well as Streatham itself (SE27, SW12 and SW16), we survey in Mitcham, Brixton and Wimbledon.

London homes in Streatham often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. Landlords in Streatham can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Streatham bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.

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

Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps

Decisions to make first

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.

Drawers or doors

Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.

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.

More about vanity units

Vanity units in Streatham: questions

What is the price of a new vanity unit in Streatham?

A new vanity unit in Streatham usually costs £450–£1,900 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the home survey in Streatham really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover SE27 in Streatham?

Yes. We cover all of Streatham, including SE27, SW12 and SW16, and nearby Mitcham, Brixton and Wimbledon. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Streatham?

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.
