Working in Welling

In Welling we cover DA6, DA15 and DA16; we also cover Bexley, 2.3 miles away, and Eltham.

London homes in Welling often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. Wall-hung vanities in Welling homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. We quote vanity unit work in Welling after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.

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

Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin

Decisions to make first

Drawers or doors

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

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.

Vanity units in Welling: questions

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

A new vanity unit in Welling 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 Welling 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 DA6 in Welling?

Yes. We cover all of Welling, including DA6, DA15 and DA16, and nearby Bexley, Eltham and Thamesmead. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Welling?

Can a wall-hung vanity unit go on a stud wall?

Yes, if there are timber noggins or a fixing frame behind the board at the right height. In a new stud wall these go in before boarding; in an existing one, the board is opened, noggins are added and the wall is made good. Plasterboard fixings alone are not enough for a loaded basin unit.
