Working in Middlesbrough
We cover every part of Middlesbrough, including TS1, TS2, TS3 and 3 more postcode districts, and nearby Billingham (2.4 miles) and Stockton-on-Tees (3.4 miles).
Across a large town like Middlesbrough, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. Where your Middlesbrough home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Middlesbrough, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days.
Most of North Yorkshire has moderately hard water. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- 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
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.
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.
