Working in Cheltenham
We work right across Cheltenham — GL50, GL51 and GL53 — and in neighbouring Tewkesbury and Gloucester.
Across a large town like Cheltenham, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If the only toilet in your Cheltenham home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips. If your Cheltenham cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly.
Supplies across most of Gloucestershire are 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
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.
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.
