What does a cloakroom or downstairs WC cost in Stockport?

Working in Stockport
We work right across Stockport — SK1, SK2, SK3 and 4 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Bredbury and Hazel Grove.
Across a large town like Stockport, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. We survey cloakrooms in Stockport with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly. Where your Stockport home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go.
Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are 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
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
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.
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.
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.
