Working in Ellesmere Port
As well as Ellesmere Port itself (CH64, CH65 and CH66), we survey in Garston, Speke and Hunts Cross.
Homes in and around Ellesmere Port vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the only toilet in your Ellesmere Port home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Ellesmere Port, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days.
Supplies across most of Cheshire are moderately hard. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- 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
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
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.
