Working in Gloucester
We cover every part of Gloucester, including GL1, GL2 and GL4, and nearby Cheltenham (7.4 miles) and Stroud (8.2 miles).
In a city the size of Gloucester, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If the only toilet in your Gloucester home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips. If your Gloucester cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly.
Water across much of Gloucestershire 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
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- 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
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.
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.
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.
