Working in Poulton-le-Fylde
We work right across Poulton-le-Fylde — FY2, FY3 and FY6 — and in neighbouring Blackpool and Thornton-Cleveleys.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Poulton-le-Fylde: free survey, written quote, one team. For a new cloakroom in Poulton-le-Fylde, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs. We survey cloakrooms in Poulton-le-Fylde with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly.
Most of Lancashire is supplied with soft water. 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
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Decisions to make first
Under-stair layout
Headroom drops quickly under stairs. The basin and the space in front of the WC need standing height; the low end of the room can take the cistern or storage.
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.
