Working in Aston
We work right across Aston — B6, B7 and B19 — and in neighbouring Birmingham and Washwood Heath.
In Aston, 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 Aston after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Aston bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.
Supplies across the West Midlands range from soft to hard depending on the source. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- 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
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
Decisions to make first
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.
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 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.
