Working in Redditch
We cover every part of Redditch, including B96, B97 and B98, and nearby Bromsgrove (5.2 miles) and Shirley (9 miles).
Across a large town like Redditch, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. Where your Redditch home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. If the only toilet in your Redditch home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips.
Supplies across most of Worcestershire are moderately hard. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. 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 new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
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.
Finishes
A small room can carry a bolder tile or wallpaper. A feature wall behind the WC costs far less here than in a full bathroom because there is so little of it.
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.
