Working in Longfield

In Longfield we cover DA3, DA4 and DA13; we also cover Hartley, 0.7 miles away, and Swanscombe.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Longfield: free survey, written quote, one team. We quote vanity unit work in Longfield after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. If your Longfield cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.

Most of Kent has very hard water. 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

Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
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
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.
