Working in Banbury
We work right across Banbury — OX16 — and in neighbouring Bicester and Daventry.
Homes in and around Banbury vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Banbury bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. Landlords in Banbury can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.
Water across much of Oxfordshire 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
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
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.
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 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.
