Working in Exeter
As well as Exeter itself (EX1, EX2, EX3 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Exmouth, Tiverton and Newton Abbot.
Exeter is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. We survey cloakrooms in Exeter with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly. If your Exeter cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly.
Most of Devon is supplied with soft water. 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
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- 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
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.
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.
