Working in Ilford
We cover every part of Ilford, including E18, IG1, IG2 and 5 more postcode districts, and nearby Barking (1.7 miles) and Becontree (2.4 miles).
In Ilford, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. Where your Ilford home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. If your Ilford cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly.
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
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Decisions to make first
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.
Macerator or gravity
Gravity drainage is silent and needs no maintenance. A macerator lets a WC go where a pipe could not otherwise fall, provided another WC in the house is on gravity drainage.
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.
