Working in Ilkeston
As well as Ilkeston itself (DE7 and NG10), we survey in Eastwood, Heanor and Long Eaton.
In Ilkeston, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Where your Ilkeston home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Ilkeston, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days.
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
- 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
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
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.
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.
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.
