Working in Banstead

In Banstead we cover KT17, SM2 and SM7; we also cover Sutton, 1.9 miles away, and Ewell.

In Banstead, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We quote vanity unit work in Banstead after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. Wall-hung vanities in Banstead homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.

Water across much of Surrey is 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

Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
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
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin

Decisions to make first

Width

Compact units around 400 mm wide suit cloakrooms; family bathrooms often take 600 to 800 mm for one basin and 1200 mm or more for two.

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.

Who handles building control for a new vanity unit in Banstead?

Building control for Banstead 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.

What size vanity unit do I need?

Measure the wall and leave room to stand at the basin and open the door. Cloakroom units can be around 400 mm wide; most family bathrooms take 600 to 800 mm for a single basin and 1200 mm or more for a double. For a whole wall of storage, look at fitted bathroom furniture.
