In Wednesfield, 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 Wednesfield home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Wednesfield, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days.
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
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
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.
Door
An outward-opening door is usually needed so it does not hit the WC. A sliding door suits a narrow hallway where an outward door would block the way.
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.
