Working in Calne

As well as Calne itself (SN11), we survey in Chippenham, Devizes and Melksham.

Calne gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Calne water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Calne bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.

Most of Wiltshire has hard water. 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

Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin

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.

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.

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.

More about vanity units

Vanity units in Calne: questions

How much should I budget for a new vanity unit in Calne?

A new vanity unit in Calne usually costs £350–£1,550 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

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 Calne.

Is the home survey in Calne really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover SN11 in Calne?

Yes. We cover all of Calne, including SN11, and nearby Chippenham, Devizes and Melksham. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can a wall-hung vanity unit go on a stud wall?

Yes, if there are timber noggins or a fixing frame behind the board at the right height. In a new stud wall these go in before boarding; in an existing one, the board is opened, noggins are added and the wall is made good. Plasterboard fixings alone are not enough for a loaded basin unit.
