Working in Hayes
As well as Hayes itself (UB3, UB4 and UB11), we survey in Southall, Heston and Greenford.
In Hayes, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. We survey cloakrooms in Hayes with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Hayes, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days.
Most of Greater London has very 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
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- 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.
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.
