Working in Sittingbourne
We work right across Sittingbourne — ME9, ME10 and ME12 — and in neighbouring Faversham and Gillingham.
In Sittingbourne, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Wall-hung vanities in Sittingbourne homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. Landlords in Sittingbourne can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.
Water across much of Kent 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
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
- 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.
