Working in Wigston Magna

As well as Wigston Magna itself (LE2, LE8 and LE18), we survey in Oadby, Leicester and Earl Shilton.

In Wigston Magna, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Landlords in Wigston Magna can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. Wall-hung vanities in Wigston Magna 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

Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
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

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.

Is the home survey in Wigston Magna really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do vanity units come with a basin and tap?

Most vanity units are sold with a basin or a one-piece basin and top, while the tap and waste are usually bought separately. Check whether the basin has a tap hole and an overflow, because that decides which tap and waste you need.
