Working in Stockton-on-Tees
We work right across Stockton-on-Tees — TS18, TS19 and TS20 — and in neighbouring Billingham and Thornaby-on-Tees.
Across a large town like Stockton-on-Tees, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. For a new cloakroom in Stockton-on-Tees, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs. If the only toilet in your Stockton-on-Tees home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips.
Supplies across most of County Durham 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 new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- 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.
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.
