Working in Manchester
We cover every part of Manchester, including M1, M2, M4 and 16 more postcode districts, and nearby Salford (2.2 miles) and Old Trafford (2.6 miles).
In a city the size of Manchester, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. Wall-hung vanities in Manchester homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. If your Manchester water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.
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
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- 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.
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.
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.
