Working in Rotherham
In Rotherham we cover S60, S61, S64 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Rawmarsh, 2.2 miles away, and Wath upon Dearne.
Across a large town like Rotherham, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Rotherham, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days. If your Rotherham cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly.
Water across much of South Yorkshire is moderately hard. 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
- 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
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
