What does a cloakroom or downstairs WC cost in Gerrards Cross?

Working in Gerrards Cross
In Gerrards Cross we cover SL9 and UB9; we also cover Chalfont St Peter, 1.6 miles away, and Uxbridge.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Gerrards Cross: free survey, written quote, one team. We survey cloakrooms in Gerrards Cross with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly. For a new cloakroom in Gerrards Cross, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs.
Supplies across most of Buckinghamshire are hard. 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
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
Decisions to make first
Basin
A corner basin fits the tightest rooms. A slim vanity basin with a cupboard underneath gives somewhere to keep spare toilet rolls and soap, and hides the trap.
Door
An outward-opening door is usually needed so it does not hit the WC. A sliding door suits a narrow hallway where an outward door would block the way.
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.
