Working in Trowbridge

We work right across Trowbridge — BA14 — and in neighbouring Westbury and Melksham.

Homes in and around Trowbridge vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Trowbridge water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. Wall-hung vanities in Trowbridge homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.

Water across much of Wiltshire is 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

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
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal

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.

Vanity units in Trowbridge: questions

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

Is the water hard in Trowbridge?

Who handles building control for a new vanity unit in Trowbridge?

Building control for Trowbridge 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 Trowbridge.

Is a wall-hung or floor-standing vanity unit better?

Neither suits every room. Wall-hung units show more floor, make a small bathroom feel larger and are easy to clean under, but need a wall that can carry them. Floor-standing units hold more and suit uneven or weak walls.
