How to change a pedestal basin for a vanity basin unit.

- Pedestal basins are beginning to look real old fashion these days. Fitting a basin with a cupboard (vanity unit) gives you some storage under the basin and looks nicer. The video shown is the full job start to finish.
Lots more plumbing and heating at my two websites.

Awwwww little Mo’s squeaky yawn was sooooo cute 😊❤️
Such an informative video and well documented. We’re looking to change our unit and have found this tutorial really helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Love this guy. What a sweet man! Wish he lived in my town
Ah thanks Pat, keep well all the best.
Brilliant video as always Al, thank you so much for taking the time to make this content which is a huge help 😁
My pleasure! Thanks for your kind comments.
Bit extreme Al replacing the basin because Jan can't be bothered to clean the cob webs out, the cheek of it !!!
Joking aside it all looks fantastic, very smart indeed.
Ha ha, thanks PB, she will never live it down about those cobwebs.
Awesome video, great tips when I put the new vanity 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice Job, I’ve seen a few of your vids. Subscribed as from today. Thank you.
Thanks for subscribing Charles.
Looks great now Al
Thanks B scooter, we are really pleased with it .
Did you have to pay extra for the doggy seat between the basin and the window -- the Mo seat, where she can sit and watch you shave or look out the window? That was very thoughtful of you! But what about Jan, where will she sit watching you doing your ablutions?
Great video, thanks for all the tips!!
No problem!

Thanks a lot 🙏
I've been stressing over, it seems complicated but you made it look easy hopefully I'll be able to do so, who am I kidding I'll surely mess it up 😅
Have a try nothing lost.
@@dereton33 thank you I shall try for sure 🙏😊
Nice video Al
Thanks.
What do you think about washing machines waste pipes Being plumbed into sink waste pipes. Is it better to have a straight out single waste from the washing machine. Great video your new sink set up looks great.
Hi Philip, yes it is always best to have a separate waste for the washing machine outlet if it is possible. Thanks for your kind comments about our new sink set up.
Nice job al
Thanks Mike, Jan really likes it , she has a home for all her towels and bathroom products.
Hi Al. Did you need any plumbers mate in the waste? Whenever I fit wastes they always leak if I only use the supplied washers!
No the rubber washers were of high quality, so all good, I do usually use it otherwise.
if you can then fit the waste the day before and use clear silicone , or they leak .
all you got to do is a bit off tillling a round the basin to finsh the job nicely loved the video
Thanks Ratch.
Don't you hate changing taps while to sink is still fixed in place, bloody awkward job? It's like trying to put your socks on while still wearing your shoes lol
Oh, and if your box spanner needs an extra bit of length just pop the next size into the end of the first box spanner so it's then twice as long. Makes reaching up and under the sink a little easier.
Yes a good idea with the spanner . Hate changing taps.

It's even worse when all of the shut off valves are seized including the mains one 😤😤😤
Bad times.
Hello, thank you so much for this helpful video! Makes me feel like I can do it myself! I do have a question though, how do I know if I have high or low pressure? Is there a way to find out? Thank you!!
If you have a combi boiler it is high. If you have an F an E system open the cold basin tap and see if you can stop the flow with your thumb, if you can you have low pressure if you cant you have high.
Al, how will you deal with the gap between the basin and the tiles?
Either mastic or more than likely an edge trim.i
cracking video gaffar thanks
No problem julie, pleased you liked it.
@@dereton33
always
top tips and advice
This is my next job so, once again, very timely. I don’t understand the bit about the non-return valve on the hot though (when hot is low pressure, and cold is high pressure). Why is this needed?
To stop mains water pushing back down the hot feed pipe and back into the cylinder.
Hello from California! Thanks for this great video. Question...what is the problem with the water supply lines touching the support inside your cabinet? I want to do this project but not sure I can do copper repiping that you did.
You can always fix the pipes to the wooden cabinet to stop vibration. Use flexi pipes to connect the taps.
O, by the way me and Jan was in California 3 years ago, really liked it there.
Great Video Great alternative to my video lol 😂
Plumber On the Job Oh yes ha ha
Both good videos i would Watch them both 😁
Cheers 😀

Hi AL nice one mate
Thanks David. Haven't heard from you in a while, hope you are keeping well.
@@dereton33 hi AL I am OK hope you are just so much going on
My mum and dad in-law have got a miniature shnautzer too and all she does is bark. She is so noisy. Is your little one like that?
Sometimes but in the main she is fine. She only barks at the postman .
*like would recemend*
Good kit.
