Working in Allerton

As well as Allerton itself (L18, L19 and L25), we survey in Hunts Cross, Garston and Halewood.

Allerton gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Landlords in Allerton can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. Wall-hung vanities in Allerton homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.

Most of Merseyside 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
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall

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.

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.

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 water hard in Allerton?

Who handles building control for a new vanity unit in Allerton?

Building control for Allerton 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 Allerton.

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.
