Working in Norwich
We cover every part of Norwich, including NR1, NR2, NR3 and 4 more postcode districts, and nearby East Dereham (15.8 miles) and Great Yarmouth (18.2 miles).
Norwich is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. For a new cloakroom in Norwich, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs. Where your Norwich home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go.
Most of Norfolk has very hard water. 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
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
