Working in Rawtenstall
We cover every part of Rawtenstall, including BB4 and OL13, and nearby Haslingden (1.6 miles) and Ramsbottom (3.9 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Rawtenstall: free survey, written quote, one team. Wall-hung vanities in Rawtenstall homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. If your Rawtenstall water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.
Most of Lancashire 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
- 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
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
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.
