Working in Ashton in Makerfield
As well as Ashton in Makerfield itself (WA11, WA12 and WN4), we survey in Haydock, Golborne and Newton-le-Willows.
Homes in and around Ashton in Makerfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We quote vanity unit work in Ashton in Makerfield after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. Landlords in Ashton in Makerfield can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.
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
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
