Working in Lossiemouth

In Lossiemouth we cover IV31; we also cover Elgin, 5.1 miles away, and Buckie.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Lossiemouth: free survey, written quote, one team. We quote vanity unit work in Lossiemouth after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. Wall-hung vanities in Lossiemouth homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.

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

Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
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

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.

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 Scotland

In Scotland, a replacement vanity unit does not need a building warrant. The Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover the new tap and supplies.
