Working in Hereford

As well as Hereford itself (HR1 and HR4), we survey in Ross on Wye, Leominster and Ledbury.

Hereford is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. Landlords in Hereford can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Hereford bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.

Most of Herefordshire has moderately hard water. 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

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
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

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.

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.

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.

More about vanity units

Vanity units in Hereford: questions

How much should I budget for a new vanity unit in Hereford?

A new vanity unit in Hereford usually costs £350–£1,450 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover HR1 and HR4 in Hereford?

Yes. We cover all of Hereford, including HR1 and HR4, and nearby Ross on Wye, Leominster and Ledbury. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Hereford?

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

Building control for Hereford 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.

Can a wall-hung vanity unit go on a stud wall?

Yes, if there are timber noggins or a fixing frame behind the board at the right height. In a new stud wall these go in before boarding; in an existing one, the board is opened, noggins are added and the wall is made good. Plasterboard fixings alone are not enough for a loaded basin unit.
