Working in Gosport

As well as Gosport itself (PO12 and PO13), we survey in Portsmouth, Southsea and Fareham.

Gosport has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. We quote vanity unit work in Gosport after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Gosport 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

Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
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

Drawers or doors

Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.

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.
