Working in Sutton Coldfield
We work right across Sutton Coldfield — B72, B73 and B75 — and in neighbouring Washwood Heath and Aldridge.
Across a large town like Sutton Coldfield, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If the only toilet in your Sutton Coldfield home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips. Where your Sutton Coldfield home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go.
Water hardness varies across the West Midlands: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. 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
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
Decisions to make first
Finishes
A small room can carry a bolder tile or wallpaper. A feature wall behind the WC costs far less here than in a full bathroom because there is so little of it.
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.
