Working in Stalybridge
We cover every part of Stalybridge, including OL6, SK15 and SK16, and nearby Dukinfield (1.4 miles) and Ashton-under-Lyne (1.7 miles).
Homes in and around Stalybridge vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We survey cloakrooms in Stalybridge with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly. If the only toilet in your Stalybridge home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips.
Water across much of Greater Manchester is soft. 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
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- 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
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
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.
