Working in York
In York we cover YO1, YO10, YO24 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Selby, 12.1 miles away, and Kippax.
In a city the size of York, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you have bought a vanity unit for your York bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. Landlords in York can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.
Most of North Yorkshire has moderately hard water. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
- 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
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
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.
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.
