Working in Coulsdon
As well as Coulsdon itself (CR5, CR8 and SM7), we survey in Purley, Banstead and Sutton.
London homes in Coulsdon often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. Where your Coulsdon home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Coulsdon, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days.
Water across much of Greater London is 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
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
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.
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.
