Working in Melksham
As well as Melksham itself (SN12), we survey in Trowbridge, Chippenham and Devizes.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Melksham: free survey, written quote, one team. Where your Melksham home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. If your Melksham cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly.
Supplies across most of Wiltshire 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
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
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.
