Working in Gillingham
We work right across Gillingham — ME7 and ME8 — and in neighbouring Chatham and Rochester.
Gillingham has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Gillingham bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. If your Gillingham cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.
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
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Decisions to make first
Width
Compact units around 400 mm wide suit cloakrooms; family bathrooms often take 600 to 800 mm for one basin and 1200 mm or more for two.
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.
