Working in Stoke-on-Trent

In Stoke-on-Trent we cover ST1, ST2, ST3 and 3 more postcode districts; we also cover Newcastle under Lyme, 2 miles away, and Kidsgrove.

Stoke-on-Trent is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. We quote vanity unit work in Stoke-on-Trent after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. Wall-hung vanities in Stoke-on-Trent homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.

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
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

What is the price of a new vanity unit in Stoke-on-Trent?

A new vanity unit in Stoke-on-Trent usually costs £350–£1,450 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the water hard in Stoke-on-Trent?

Who handles building control for a new vanity unit in Stoke-on-Trent?

Building control for Stoke-on-Trent is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Can a wall-hung vanity unit go on a stud wall?

Yes, if there are timber noggins or a fixing frame behind the board at the right height. In a new stud wall these go in before boarding; in an existing one, the board is opened, noggins are added and the wall is made good. Plasterboard fixings alone are not enough for a loaded basin unit.
