Working in Oldham

As well as Oldham itself (M35, OL1, OL4 and 2 more postcode districts), we survey in Middleton, Ashton-under-Lyne and Droylsden.

In a city the size of Oldham, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Oldham bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. If your Oldham water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.

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

A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
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

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.

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.

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.

Vanity units in Oldham: questions

What is the price of a new vanity unit in Oldham?

A new vanity unit in Oldham usually costs £350–£1,400 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the home survey in Oldham really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover M35 in Oldham?

Yes. We cover all of Oldham, including M35, OL1, OL4, OL8 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Middleton, Ashton-under-Lyne and Droylsden. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What height should a vanity unit be?

Most basins are set with the rim around 800 to 900 mm above the floor. A wall-hung unit lets you choose the height, which helps taller households; a floor-standing unit is fixed by its cabinet height.
