Working in Newquay
We cover every part of Newquay, including TR7, and nearby Truro (10.4 miles) and St Austell (14.1 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Newquay: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Newquay, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days. If the only toilet in your Newquay home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips.
Water across much of Cornwall is soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. 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
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
Decisions to make first
Under-stair layout
Headroom drops quickly under stairs. The basin and the space in front of the WC need standing height; the low end of the room can take the cistern or storage.
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.
