Working in Melton Mowbray
We work right across Melton Mowbray — LE13 and LE14 — and in neighbouring Oakham and Mountsorrel.
Homes in and around Melton Mowbray vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Where your Melton Mowbray home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. For a new cloakroom in Melton Mowbray, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs.
Supplies across most of Leicestershire are 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
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
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.
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.
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.
