Working in Bletchley
In Bletchley we cover MK1, MK2 and MK3; we also cover Milton Keynes, 3.5 miles away, and Leighton Buzzard.
In Bletchley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Where your Bletchley home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. If your Bletchley 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 survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- 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.
Finishes
A small room can carry a bolder tile or wallpaper. A feature wall behind the WC costs far less here than in a full bathroom because there is so little of it.
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.
