Working in Stourbridge
We work right across Stourbridge — DY5, DY8 and DY9 — and in neighbouring Brierley Hill and Kingswinford.
In Stourbridge, 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 Stourbridge home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips. For a new cloakroom in Stourbridge, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs.
Supplies across the West Midlands range from soft to hard depending on the source. 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
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- 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 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.
