Working in Saltash
In Saltash we cover PL12; we also cover Plymouth, 4.5 miles away, and Plymstock.
Saltash gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the only toilet in your Saltash home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips. If your Saltash cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly.
Supplies across most of Cornwall are 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
- 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
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
