Working in Earl Shilton

In Earl Shilton we cover LE9 and LE10; we also cover Hinckley, 3.7 miles away, and Nuneaton.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Earl Shilton: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Earl Shilton 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 Earl Shilton homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.

Supplies across most of Leicestershire are 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

A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
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

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 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.

Who handles building control for a new vanity unit in Earl Shilton?

Building control for Earl Shilton is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does a new vanity unit take?

Allow half a day to 1 day on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Earl Shilton.

What height should a vanity unit be?

Most basins are set with the rim around 800 to 900 mm above the floor. A wall-hung unit lets you choose the height, which helps taller households; a floor-standing unit is fixed by its cabinet height.
