Working in Elgin
As well as Elgin itself (IV30), we survey in Lossiemouth, Forres and Buckie.
Homes in and around Elgin vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Wall-hung vanities in Elgin homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. If your Elgin water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.
Water across much of Moray is soft. 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
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
Decisions to make first
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.
Drawers or doors
Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, a replacement vanity unit does not need a building warrant. The Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover the new tap and supplies.
