Working in Telford
In Telford we cover TF4; we also cover Shrewsbury, 12.9 miles away, and Wolverhampton.
Across a large town like Telford, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. Landlords in Telford can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Telford bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.
Water across much of Shropshire is moderately hard. 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
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
Decisions to make first
Drawers or doors
Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.
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 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.
