Working in Chippenham

In Chippenham we cover SN14 and SN15; we also cover Calne, 5.3 miles away, and Melksham.

Homes in and around Chippenham vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Landlords in Chippenham can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. If your Chippenham water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.

Supplies across most of Wiltshire 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
Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system

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.

Drawers or doors

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

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.
