Working in Potters Bar
As well as Potters Bar itself (EN6, WD2 and WD23), we survey in Barnet, Enfield and Borehamwood.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Potters Bar: free survey, written quote, one team. If the only toilet in your Potters Bar home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Potters Bar, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days.
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 survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- 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
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.
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.
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.
