Working in Eastleigh
We work right across Eastleigh — SO50 and SO53 — and in neighbouring Hedge End and Southampton.
In Eastleigh, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Eastleigh bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. If your Eastleigh cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.
Supplies across most of Hampshire are hard. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. 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
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
Decisions to make first
Waste and overflow
A basin with an overflow takes a slotted waste; one without needs an unslotted waste, often a push-button 'click-clack' type.
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.
