Working in Walton-on-the-Naze
As well as Walton-on-the-Naze itself (CO13 and CO14), we survey in Frinton-on-Sea, Clacton-on-Sea and Harwich.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Walton-on-the-Naze: free survey, written quote, one team. For a new cloakroom in Walton-on-the-Naze, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Walton-on-the-Naze, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days.
Supplies across most of Essex are 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
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
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.
Finishes
A small room can carry a bolder tile or wallpaper. A feature wall behind the WC costs far less here than in a full bathroom because there is so little of it.
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.
