Working in Caerphilly

We work right across Caerphilly — CF15 and CF83 — and in neighbouring Risca and Pontypridd.

In Caerphilly, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Caerphilly cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Caerphilly bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.

Supplies across Gwent range from soft to hard depending on the source. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side

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.

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 Wales

Wales follows the same water fittings regulations as England. Its own Part P covers more electrical work, so a lit vanity or mirror should be connected by a registered electrician.

Building control for Caerphilly 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.

How long does a new vanity unit take?

Allow half a day to 1 day on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Caerphilly.

Is the home survey in Caerphilly 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 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.
