Working in Barnsley
In Barnsley we cover S63, S70, S71 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Darton, 3.1 miles away, and Hoyland Nether.
In Barnsley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If the only toilet in your Barnsley home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Barnsley, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days.
Most of South 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
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
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.
Macerator or gravity
Gravity drainage is silent and needs no maintenance. A macerator lets a WC go where a pipe could not otherwise fall, provided another WC in the house is on gravity drainage.
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.
