Working in Letchworth Garden City
As well as Letchworth Garden City itself (SG5, SG6 and SG15), we survey in Hitchin, Stevenage and Biggleswade.
In Letchworth Garden City, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Wall-hung vanities in Letchworth Garden City 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 Letchworth Garden City bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.
Supplies across most of Hertfordshire are 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
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
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.
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.
