Working in Altrincham
We cover every part of Altrincham, including M33, WA14 and WA15, and nearby Sale (2.8 miles) and Urmston (4.2 miles).
Homes in and around Altrincham vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Altrincham water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Altrincham bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.
Water across much of Greater Manchester is soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
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.
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.
