Working in Huntingdon
We cover every part of Huntingdon, including PE29, and nearby St Ives (4.6 miles) and St Neots (8.6 miles).
Huntingdon gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We survey cloakrooms in Huntingdon with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly. If the only toilet in your Huntingdon home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips.
Most of Cambridgeshire has very 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
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.
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.
