Working in Thornton-Cleveleys
In Thornton-Cleveleys we cover FY2, FY5 and FY6; we also cover Poulton-le-Fylde, 3.2 miles away, and Fleetwood.
In Thornton-Cleveleys, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Thornton-Cleveleys cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly. Where your Thornton-Cleveleys home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go.
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
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
- 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
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
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.
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.
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.
