Working in Scunthorpe
As well as Scunthorpe itself (DN15, DN16 and DN17), we survey in Brough, Goole and Thorne.
Scunthorpe has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. We survey cloakrooms in Scunthorpe with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly. Where your Scunthorpe home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go.
Supplies across most of Lincolnshire 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
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
