Working in North Watford
We cover every part of North Watford, including WD2, WD24 and WD25, and nearby Watford (1.8 miles) and Bushey (3 miles).
In North Watford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your North Watford cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly. Where your North Watford home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go.
Water across much of Hertfordshire is 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
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- 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
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
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.
