Working in Boston
In Boston we cover PE21; we also cover Spalding, 14.1 miles away, and Sleaford.
Homes in and around Boston vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Boston cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. Wall-hung vanities in Boston homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.
Most of Lincolnshire 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
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
Decisions to make first
Waste and overflow
A basin with an overflow takes a slotted waste; one without needs an unslotted waste, often a push-button 'click-clack' type.
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.
