Working in Corby

We cover every part of Corby, including NN17 and NN18, and nearby Kettering (6.9 miles) and Market Harborough (9.8 miles).

In Corby, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Corby cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. If your Corby 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 Northamptonshire is hard. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. 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
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal

Decisions to make first

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.

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 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.
