Working in New Mills
In New Mills we cover SK22; we also cover Hazel Grove, 5 miles away, and Glossop.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in New Mills: free survey, written quote, one team. We survey cloakrooms in New Mills with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in New Mills, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days.
Water across much of Derbyshire is 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
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
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.
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.
