Working in Rutherglen
In Rutherglen we cover G40, G42 and G73; we also cover Cambuslang, 2.4 miles away, and Glasgow.
In Rutherglen, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Landlords in Rutherglen can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. Wall-hung vanities in Rutherglen homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.
Most of Lanarkshire is supplied with soft water. 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
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
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.
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.
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.
