Working in Bushey
We cover every part of Bushey, including WD1, WD19 and WD23, and nearby Watford (1.7 miles) and North Watford (3 miles).
In Bushey, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Where your Bushey home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. We survey cloakrooms in Bushey with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly.
Supplies across most of Hertfordshire are very hard. 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
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
Decisions to make first
WC style
A wall-hung WC on a frame gives the most floor space and looks neat. A back-to-wall pan in a short furniture unit is easier to fit against an uneven wall.
Door
An outward-opening door is usually needed so it does not hit the WC. A sliding door suits a narrow hallway where an outward door would block the way.
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.
