Working in Dartford

As well as Dartford itself (DA1), we survey in Bexley, Swanley and Swanscombe.

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

Supplies across most of Kent 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

Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
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

Drawers or doors

Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.

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.

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 Dartford?

Building control for Dartford is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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.
