Working in Hoddesdon

We cover every part of Hoddesdon, including EN11, and nearby Ware (3.5 miles) and Hertford (3.7 miles).

Homes in and around Hoddesdon vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Hoddesdon water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. Landlords in Hoddesdon can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.

Water across much of Hertfordshire is very 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

Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

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

Do vanity units come with a basin and tap?

Most vanity units are sold with a basin or a one-piece basin and top, while the tap and waste are usually bought separately. Check whether the basin has a tap hole and an overflow, because that decides which tap and waste you need.
