Working in North Watford
In North Watford we cover WD2, WD24 and WD25; we also cover Watford, 1.8 miles away, and Bushey.
Homes in and around North Watford vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your North Watford cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. Landlords in North Watford 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
- 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
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- 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.
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.
