Working in Melton Mowbray

As well as Melton Mowbray itself (LE13 and LE14), we survey in Oakham, Mountsorrel and Loughborough.

In Melton Mowbray, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Melton Mowbray cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. Landlords in Melton Mowbray can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.

Most of Leicestershire has hard water. 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

Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
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

Decisions to make first

Basin type

An inset or semi-recessed basin, a one-piece moulded top, or a countertop basin on a worktop. Countertop basins need a tall tap or a wall-mounted one.

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 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 Melton Mowbray?

What size vanity unit do I need?

Measure the wall and leave room to stand at the basin and open the door. Cloakroom units can be around 400 mm wide; most family bathrooms take 600 to 800 mm for a single basin and 1200 mm or more for a double. For a whole wall of storage, look at fitted bathroom furniture.
