Working in Farnborough

As well as Farnborough itself (GU14), we survey in Camberley, Aldershot and Fleet.

In Farnborough, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Wall-hung vanities in Farnborough homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Farnborough bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.

Water across much of Hampshire is 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

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
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Farnborough?

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

Building control for Farnborough 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.

What size vanity unit do I need?

Measure the wall and leave room to stand at the basin and open the door. Cloakroom units can be around 400 mm wide; most family bathrooms take 600 to 800 mm for a single basin and 1200 mm or more for a double. For a whole wall of storage, look at fitted bathroom furniture.
