Working in Emsworth
We cover every part of Emsworth, including PO9 and PO10, and nearby Havant (2.2 miles) and South Hayling (4.5 miles).
Emsworth gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For a new cloakroom in Emsworth, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs. Where your Emsworth home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go.
Water across much of West Sussex is hard. 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
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- 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
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
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.
