Working in Peacehaven
In Peacehaven we cover BN10; we also cover Rottingdean, 2.6 miles away, and Seaford.
Peacehaven gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Peacehaven cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Peacehaven, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days.
Most of East Sussex has hard water. 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
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- 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
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
Decisions to make first
Door
An outward-opening door is usually needed so it does not hit the WC. A sliding door suits a narrow hallway where an outward door would block the way.
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.
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.
