Working in Tonbridge
We cover every part of Tonbridge, including TN9, TN10 and TN11, and nearby Tunbridge Wells (4.3 miles) and Sevenoaks (6.5 miles).
In Tonbridge, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Tonbridge cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. If your Tonbridge water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.
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
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
