Working in Lichfield
In Lichfield we cover WS13; we also cover Burntwood, 4.3 miles away, and Tamworth.
Homes in and around Lichfield 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 Lichfield bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. We quote vanity unit work in Lichfield after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.
Water across much of Staffordshire 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
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- 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
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
Decisions to make first
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.
Wall-hung or floor-standing
Wall-hung units leave the floor clear and are easy to clean under, but need a strong wall. Floor-standing units hold more and suit weak or uneven walls.
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.
