Working in Birmingham
As well as Birmingham itself (B1, B2, B3 and 39 more postcode districts), we survey in Smethwick, West Bromwich and Shirley.
Birmingham is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Birmingham bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. If your Birmingham cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.
Water hardness varies across the West Midlands: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. 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
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- 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
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.
Waste and overflow
A basin with an overflow takes a slotted waste; one without needs an unslotted waste, often a push-button 'click-clack' type.
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.
