Working in Rickmansworth
As well as Rickmansworth itself (HA6, WD3 and WD18), we survey in Watford, Chalfont St Peter and North Watford.
In Rickmansworth, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Rickmansworth water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. Wall-hung vanities in Rickmansworth homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.
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
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
- 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
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.
Wall-hung or floor-standing
Wall-hung units leave the floor clear and are easy to clean under, but need a strong wall. Floor-standing units hold more and suit weak or uneven walls.
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.
