Working in Leek

In Leek we cover ST13; we also cover Biddulph, 6.4 miles away, and Congleton.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Leek: free survey, written quote, one team. We survey cloakrooms in Leek with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly. Where your Leek home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go.

Most of Staffordshire 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 concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
  • Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
  • 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

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Cloakrooms & downstairs WCs in Leek: questions

How much does a cloakroom or downstairs WC cost in Leek?

Is the home survey in Leek really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover ST13 in Leek?

Yes. We cover all of Leek, including ST13, and nearby Biddulph, Congleton and Kidsgrove. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Do I need planning permission for a downstairs toilet?

No, forming a cloakroom inside an existing house does not normally need planning permission, though a listed building needs listed building consent for internal alterations that affect its character. The drainage and ventilation usually come under building regulations, and we tell you what applies at the survey.
