Working in Elland
In Elland we cover HD3, HX4 and HX5; we also cover Halifax, 2.2 miles away, and Brighouse.
Elland gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Elland cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly. If the only toilet in your Elland home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips.
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 survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
