Working in Washwood Heath

We cover every part of Washwood Heath, including B8, B9 and B24, and nearby Aston (2.4 miles) and Birmingham (3.4 miles).

Homes in and around Washwood Heath vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Wall-hung vanities in Washwood Heath homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. If your Washwood Heath water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.

Hardness differs from one part of the West Midlands to the next. 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
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
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Who handles building control for a new vanity unit in Washwood Heath?

Yes. The existing supply and waste positions usually work with a vanity unit, sometimes with the waste lowered or moved slightly to clear a drawer. The tiles often need patching where the pedestal and basin sat.
