Working in Newton-le-Willows
We work right across Newton-le-Willows — WA2, WA3 and WA12 — and in neighbouring Golborne and Ashton in Makerfield.
Newton-le-Willows gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Newton-le-Willows, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days. Where your Newton-le-Willows home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go.
Most of Merseyside 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 concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
