Working in Hatfield
We work right across Hatfield — AL9 and AL10 — and in neighbouring Welwyn Garden City and St Albans.
In Hatfield, 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 Hatfield bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. If your Hatfield water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.
Most of Hertfordshire has very hard water. 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
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
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.
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.
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.
