Working in Nairn

In Nairn we cover IV12; we also cover Forres, 9.8 miles away, and Inverness.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Nairn: free survey, written quote, one team. Wall-hung vanities in Nairn homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. We quote vanity unit work in Nairn after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.

Most of the Highlands and Islands is supplied with soft water. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. 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
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Scotland

In Scotland, a replacement vanity unit does not need a building warrant. The Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover the new tap and supplies.
