Working in Kidsgrove
We cover every part of Kidsgrove, including ST7, and nearby Biddulph (3.3 miles) and Congleton (5.4 miles).
Homes in and around Kidsgrove vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Kidsgrove, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days. If the only toilet in your Kidsgrove home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips.
Water across much of Staffordshire 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
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
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.
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.
