Working in Lancaster
In Lancaster we cover LA1, LA3 and LA4; we also cover Morecambe, 2.9 miles away, and Heysham.
Lancaster is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If your Lancaster cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. If your Lancaster water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.
Supplies across most of Lancashire are 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
- 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
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
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.
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.
