Working in Burgess Hill

In Burgess Hill we cover RH15; we also cover Haywards Heath, 3 miles away, and Lewes.

Homes in and around Burgess Hill vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Landlords in Burgess Hill can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. If your Burgess Hill cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.

Supplies across most of West Sussex are hard. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. 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
Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls

Decisions to make first

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung units leave the floor clear and are easy to clean under, but need a strong wall. Floor-standing units hold more and suit weak or uneven walls.

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.

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 Burgess Hill: questions

What is the price of a new vanity unit in Burgess Hill?

Is the water hard in Burgess Hill?

Who handles building control for a new vanity unit in Burgess Hill?

Building control for Burgess Hill 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 Burgess Hill.

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.
