Working in Godalming

We work right across Godalming — GU7 — and in neighbouring Guildford and Haslemere.

Godalming gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Wall-hung vanities in Godalming homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. If your Godalming cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.

Most of Surrey has hard water. 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

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
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin

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.

Basin type

An inset or semi-recessed basin, a one-piece moulded top, or a countertop basin on a worktop. Countertop basins need a tall tap or a wall-mounted one.

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.

How much does a new vanity unit cost in Godalming?

A new vanity unit in Godalming usually costs £400–£1,700 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 Godalming?

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

Building control for Godalming 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 I replace a pedestal basin with a vanity unit?

Yes. The existing supply and waste positions usually work with a vanity unit, sometimes with the waste lowered or moved slightly to clear a drawer. The tiles often need patching where the pedestal and basin sat.
