Working in West Bromwich

We work right across West Bromwich — B43, B64, B65 and 8 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Smethwick and Wednesbury.

West Bromwich has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If you have bought a vanity unit for your West Bromwich bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. Landlords in West Bromwich can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.

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

A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls

Decisions to make first

Drawers or doors

Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.

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.

Vanity units in West Bromwich: questions

Is the water hard in West Bromwich?

Who handles building control for a new vanity unit in West Bromwich?

Building control for West Bromwich is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does a new vanity unit take?

Allow half a day to 1 day on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in West Bromwich.

What height should a vanity unit be?

Most basins are set with the rim around 800 to 900 mm above the floor. A wall-hung unit lets you choose the height, which helps taller households; a floor-standing unit is fixed by its cabinet height.
