Working in Arnold
As well as Arnold itself (NG3, NG5 and NG6), we survey in Nottingham, Hucknall and West Bridgford.
Homes in and around Arnold vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Where your Arnold home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. If your Arnold cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly.
Supplies across most of Nottinghamshire are hard. 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 new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- 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
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.
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.
