Working in Stoke-on-Trent
We cover every part of Stoke-on-Trent, including ST1, ST2, ST3 and 3 more postcode districts, and nearby Newcastle under Lyme (2 miles) and Kidsgrove (6.1 miles).
Stoke-on-Trent is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If your Stoke-on-Trent cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly. If the only toilet in your Stoke-on-Trent home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips.
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
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- 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.
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.
