Working in Shoreham-by-Sea
We work right across Shoreham-by-Sea — BN42 and BN43 — and in neighbouring Lancing and Portslade.
Shoreham-by-Sea gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Shoreham-by-Sea, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days. If the only toilet in your Shoreham-by-Sea home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips.
Supplies across most of West Sussex are 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
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
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.
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.
