Working in Didcot
We work right across Didcot — OX11 — and in neighbouring Abingdon and Cowley.
In Didcot, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a new cloakroom in Didcot, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs. If the only toilet in your Didcot home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips.
Supplies across most of Oxfordshire 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
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- 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.
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.
