Working in Coatbridge

As well as Coatbridge itself (ML5), we survey in Airdrie, Bellshill and Motherwell.

In Coatbridge, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Coatbridge water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. Wall-hung vanities in Coatbridge homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.

Water across much of Lanarkshire is soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
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
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Scotland

In Scotland, a replacement vanity unit does not need a building warrant. The Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover the new tap and supplies.

Yes. The existing supply and waste positions usually work with a vanity unit, sometimes with the waste lowered or moved slightly to clear a drawer. The tiles often need patching where the pedestal and basin sat.
