Working in Chingford
As well as Chingford itself (E4, IG8 and IG9), we survey in Edmonton, Walthamstow and Tottenham.
London homes in Chingford often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Chingford, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days. Where your Chingford home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go.
Supplies across most of Greater London 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
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- 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
- 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.
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.
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.
