Working in Lichfield
In Lichfield we cover WS13; we also cover Burntwood, 4.3 miles away, and Tamworth.
In Lichfield, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For an en-suite in Lichfield, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack. If your Lichfield home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue.
Most of Staffordshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Lichfield. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door
- IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
- A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
Decisions to make first
Refit or new en-suite
A refit keeps the existing drainage and walls. A new en-suite costs more because the walls, waste route, fan duct and electrics all start from nothing.
Shower size
A 900 mm square tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. In a long, narrow room, a 1200 by 800 mm walk-in tray with one glass panel feels far more generous.
Rules that apply in England
In England, a new en-suite brings in Part H for the new connection to the soil stack, Approved Document F for ventilation, at 15 litres per second intermittent or 8 litres per second continuous extract, and Part P for the new circuits. The electrician should be registered with a competent person scheme, or the work notified to building control. On a refit, avoid replacing the fan with a less effective one.
