Working in Worthing

As well as Worthing itself (BN11, BN12, BN13 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Lancing, Shoreham-by-Sea and Portslade.

Worthing 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 Worthing bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. We quote vanity unit work in Worthing after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.

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

Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps

Decisions to make first

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.

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.
