Working in Darton
In Darton we cover S71 and S75; we also cover Barnsley, 3.1 miles away, and Wakefield.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Darton: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Darton cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly. We survey cloakrooms in Darton with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly.
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
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- 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
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
