Working in Aylesbury
In Aylesbury we cover HP19, HP20 and HP21; we also cover Leighton Buzzard, 9.6 miles away, and Berkhamsted.
Homes in and around Aylesbury vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Aylesbury, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days. If your Aylesbury cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly.
Most of Buckinghamshire has hard water. 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
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
Decisions to make first
Macerator or gravity
Gravity drainage is silent and needs no maintenance. A macerator lets a WC go where a pipe could not otherwise fall, provided another WC in the house is on gravity drainage.
WC style
A wall-hung WC on a frame gives the most floor space and looks neat. A back-to-wall pan in a short furniture unit is easier to fit against an uneven wall.
Rules that apply in England
In England, a new WC connected to the soil stack or drain is drainage work under Part H, and a newly formed cloakroom without an opening window should have mechanical extract; Approved Document F gives 6 litres per second as the design rate for a WC, against 15 for a bathroom. Because a cloakroom has no bath or shower, adding a light to an existing circuit is not notifiable under Part P, but a new circuit is.
