Working in Lytham St Annes
In Lytham St Annes we cover FY4 and FY8; we also cover Blackpool, 5.6 miles away, and Poulton-le-Fylde.
In Lytham St Annes, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Lytham St Annes, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days. Where your Lytham St Annes home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go.
Supplies across most of Lancashire 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
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
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.
