Working in Shirley
We work right across Shirley — B28, B90 and B91 — and in neighbouring Solihull and Acocks Green.
Homes in and around Shirley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We quote vanity unit work in Shirley after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. Landlords in Shirley can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.
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
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- 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
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.
Width
Compact units around 400 mm wide suit cloakrooms; family bathrooms often take 600 to 800 mm for one basin and 1200 mm or more for two.
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.
