Working in Heywood

We work right across Heywood — OL10 — and in neighbouring Middleton and Rochdale.

Homes in and around Heywood vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Heywood water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. If your Heywood cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.

Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are 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

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
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.
