Working in Kingston upon Hull
In Kingston upon Hull we cover HU1, HU2 and HU3; we also cover Beverley, 7.9 miles away, and Brough.
In a city the size of Kingston upon Hull, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. Where your Kingston upon Hull home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. If the only toilet in your Kingston upon Hull home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips.
Water across much of the East Riding of Yorkshire is hard. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. 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
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
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.
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.
