Working in Stowmarket
In Stowmarket we cover IP14; we also cover Ipswich, 11.2 miles away, and Bury St Edmunds.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Stowmarket: free survey, written quote, one team. We quote vanity unit work in Stowmarket after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. Landlords in Stowmarket can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.
Water across much of Suffolk is very 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
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
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.
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.
