Working in Old Trafford
As well as Old Trafford itself (M16, M17 and M32), we survey in Stretford, Salford and Eccles.
Old Trafford gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We survey cloakrooms in Old Trafford 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 Old Trafford, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days.
Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- 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
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.
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.
