Working in Garston
As well as Garston itself (L18, L19, L24 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Hunts Cross, Allerton and Speke.
Garston gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Garston cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly. We survey cloakrooms in Garston with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly.
Water across much of Merseyside is 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
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
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.
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.
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.
