What does a cloakroom or downstairs WC cost in Leatherhead?

Working in Leatherhead
We cover every part of Leatherhead, including KT21 and KT22, and nearby Epsom (3.6 miles) and Cobham (4.1 miles).
Homes in and around Leatherhead 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 Leatherhead, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days. We survey cloakrooms in Leatherhead with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly.
Most of Surrey has hard water. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. 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
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
