Working in Irlam

We cover every part of Irlam, including M31, M41 and M44, and nearby Urmston (2.9 miles) and Sale (4.2 miles).

Irlam gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Wall-hung vanities in Irlam homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. If your Irlam cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.

Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. 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

Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls

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.

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

Is the water hard in Irlam?

Who handles building control for a new vanity unit in Irlam?

Building control for Irlam is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Do vanity units come with a basin and tap?

Most vanity units are sold with a basin or a one-piece basin and top, while the tap and waste are usually bought separately. Check whether the basin has a tap hole and an overflow, because that decides which tap and waste you need.
