Working in Kingswood
We work right across Kingswood — BS15, BS16 and GL12 — and in neighbouring Mangotsfield and Keynsham.
Homes in and around Kingswood vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Kingswood, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days. For a new cloakroom in Kingswood, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs.
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
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
