Working in Neath
As well as Neath itself (SA7, SA10 and SA11), we survey in Briton Ferry, Clydach and Swansea.
Homes in and around Neath vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Neath water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. We quote vanity unit work in Neath after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.
Most of West Glamorgan is supplied with soft water. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. 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
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
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.
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.
Rules that apply in Wales
Wales follows the same water fittings regulations as England. Its own Part P covers more electrical work, so a lit vanity or mirror should be connected by a registered electrician.
