Working in Brighouse
In Brighouse we cover HD2, HD6 and HX5; we also cover Elland, 2.6 miles away, and Halifax.
Homes in and around Brighouse vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the only toilet in your Brighouse home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips. If your Brighouse cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly.
Most of West Yorkshire is supplied with soft water. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. 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
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
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.
