Vanities in Caledon
A custom vanity is built to the width you have and drawn around the plumbing, floating on wall blocking or standing as a furniture piece. Large kitchens with sculleries, mudrooms, libraries and boot rooms are what we expect on a Caledon plan.
Caledon, on the ground.
Caledon has estate builds, converted stone and brick farmhouses and country houses around Bolton and Caledon East, with rooms larger than the regional average. Older bathrooms tend to be narrow with the rough-in already fixed, while newer builds offer a wider wall and room for a double bowl. Rural driveways are long and there is space to park a truck and unload in one go, so the run arrives complete rather than in stages. We measure the rough-in and the wall, build and finish the vanity in our shop, then set and level it on site so the stone can be templated against the real cabinet.
Older houses in Caledon have thick walls and floors that fall away, so levels are taken across the full run and the plinth carries the difference.

No figures published. The drivers, in order.
| Driver | What we look at |
|---|---|
| Floating or furniture style | A floating vanity needs blocking in the wall and a finished underside; a furniture-style piece adds legs and a plinth. |
| Sink and tap choice | An undermount bowl, a vessel or a moulded top each change the cabinet, and a wall-mounted tap moves the plumbing before the boxes are built. |
| Drawers around the plumbing | Notched drawer boxes take shop time that a door and a fixed shelf do not. |
| Finish and door detail | A slab door in paint is quicker than fluting, a mitred rail or a machined integrated pull. |

Asked before the first call.
Can you replace a vanity without retiling the Caledon bathroom?
Usually yes, if the new cabinet covers the same footprint or more. We measure the tile edges and the existing plinth line at step 01 and size the piece so no bare floor or unfinished tile is left showing.
How long is a bathroom out of use?
Only for the install and the stone. The cabinet goes in and is levelled in [n] days, the fabricator templates afterwards, and the top is fitted on their return. Your plumber reconnects once the stone is in.
What is a scullery and do we need one?
It is a working room behind the kitchen holding the second sink, the dishwasher, the small appliances and the bulk storage, so the main kitchen stays clear. On a Caledon plan with the room to spare it is the single change that keeps the kitchen usable when there are people standing in it.
Do you come out to Caledon for a site measure?
Yes. Caledon is inside our service area and a rural address is treated the same as a city one, though the measure and the install are scheduled as full days rather than fitted around other stops. [Kam confirms travel arrangements for addresses beyond the usual region.]
