Working in Chesterfield
In Chesterfield we cover S40 and S41; we also cover Staveley, 3 miles away, and Dronfield.
Chesterfield has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Chesterfield, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days. For a new cloakroom in Chesterfield, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs.
Supplies across most of Derbyshire 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
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
