Working in Retford
We work right across Retford — DN22 — and in neighbouring Worksop and Gainsborough.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Retford: free survey, written quote, one team. For a new cloakroom in Retford, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs. Where your Retford home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go.
Most of Nottinghamshire has 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
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- 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.
