Installing a sink?

Question

would it be easy to install a sink in my loft for a water supply, although there has never been a sink there before?

Answer 1

You should have no problems with this project, all you need is a water source, and a waste route, just make sure that the sink has an over-flow too. You will also need some plumbing skills.......OK

Answer 2

If you do not have good plumbing and other mechanical skills I would not advise you to try to do it yourself.  Aside from mounting the sink, supply lines will have to be run from the nearest source and a drain line will have to be run to a line that will carry the waste water.  Usually the lines are behind walls and not easily accessible.  Certainly it can be done but there are obstacles.  Best of luck.

Answer 3

There are a lot of questions that come to mind before answering your question.

How far away is the rest of your plumbing away? i.e. drain lines, hot and cold water lines.

Will I need to tear up walls and/ or floors to accomplish this task, or would a pump type drain system be okay to run?

How much do I want to spend?

All of this would be the first questions I ask customers or investigate before starting such a project.

If all your plumbing is very close by it is easier, but if it is 5+ feet away, it can be very complicated and costly.

Also don't forget about venting your drain lines, and local plumbing codes.
