Working in Tewkesbury
We work right across Tewkesbury — GL20 — and in neighbouring Cheltenham and Gloucester.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Tewkesbury: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Tewkesbury, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days. For a new cloakroom in Tewkesbury, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs.
Most of Gloucestershire has hard water. 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
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
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.
