Working in Pontefract

We cover every part of Pontefract, including WF7, WF8 and WF10, and nearby Castleford (3.2 miles) and Kippax (5.8 miles).

Homes in and around Pontefract vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. A design survey in Pontefract covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork. If your Pontefract bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move.

Most of West Yorkshire is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail
A written, itemised quote, with the price fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed
Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts

Decisions to make first

Keep or change the layout

Keeping the WC and shower where they are saves on plumbing. The WC is the costly one to move, because it is tied to the soil stack.

The door

Re-hanging the door on the other side, fitting a sliding pocket door or moving the opening can free up a whole wall in a small room.

Rules that apply in England

In England, a new connection to the soil stack or new drainage can be building regulations work under Part H, and new circuits or alterations to circuits in the bathroom are notifiable under Part P. Where a new bathroom is formed, Approved Document F asks for extract at 15 l/s intermittent or 8 l/s continuous.

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

What is the best layout for a small bathroom?

In most small bathrooms the most practical layout puts the bath or shower along the longest wall, the WC on or close to the soil stack and the basin nearest the door. Swapping a bath for a walk-in shower, using short-projection pieces and hanging them on the wall all free up floor. Our small bathrooms page covers typical layouts.
