Working in Hadleigh
We cover every part of Hadleigh, including SS7, SS8 and SS9, and nearby South Benfleet (2.2 miles) and Rayleigh (2.3 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Hadleigh: free survey, written quote, one team. We survey cloakrooms in Hadleigh with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly. For a new cloakroom in Hadleigh, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs.
Water across much of Essex is very 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
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- 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
- 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.
