Working in Rugeley
We cover every part of Rugeley, including WS15, and nearby Burntwood (5.4 miles) and Cannock (6.2 miles).
In Rugeley, 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 Rugeley home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips. Where your Rugeley 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
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
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.
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.
