Working in Wellingborough

We work right across Wellingborough — NN8 — and in neighbouring Rushden and Kettering.

In Wellingborough, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Wellingborough cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. Landlords in Wellingborough can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.

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

Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away

Decisions to make first

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.

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.
