What does a cloakroom or downstairs WC cost in Redcar?
In Redcar, a cloakroom or downstairs WC typically costs £1,650–£4,200 including VAT, based on Yorkshire and the Humber prices. Labour costs in Yorkshire and the Humber put local prices at about 7% below the UK guide figure. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Redcar
As well as Redcar itself (TS6 and TS10), we survey in Guisborough, Middlesbrough and Hartlepool.
Homes in and around Redcar vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Where your Redcar home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. For a new cloakroom in Redcar, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs.
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 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
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
