Working in Kirkby
We cover every part of Kirkby, including L32 and L33, and nearby Maghull (3.1 miles) and Litherland (4.4 miles).
Homes in and around Kirkby vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Kirkby water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. We quote vanity unit work in Kirkby after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.
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
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Decisions to make first
Drawers or doors
Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.
One basin or two
Two basins help a busy household if the wall is long enough. In a smaller room, one basin with a longer top often works better.
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.
