Working in Guildford
As well as Guildford itself (GU1, GU2 and GU4), we survey in Godalming, Woking and Aldershot.
In Guildford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Wall-hung vanities in Guildford homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. If your Guildford cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.
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
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- 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.
