Working in Greenock

In Greenock we cover PA14, PA15, PA16 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Helensburgh, 4.2 miles away, and Dunoon.

Homes in and around Greenock vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Greenock water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. We quote vanity unit work in Greenock after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.

Supplies across most of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde are 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

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
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
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.

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Greenock really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover PA14 in Greenock?

Yes. We cover all of Greenock, including PA14, PA15, PA16 and PA19, and nearby Helensburgh, Dunoon and Vale of Leven. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What height should a vanity unit be?

Most basins are set with the rim around 800 to 900 mm above the floor. A wall-hung unit lets you choose the height, which helps taller households; a floor-standing unit is fixed by its cabinet height.
