Working in Pitsea
As well as Pitsea itself (SS13, SS14 and SS16), we survey in Basildon, South Benfleet and Wickford.
In Pitsea, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Pitsea bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit. If you live in a terrace or semi in Pitsea with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain.
Supplies across most of Essex are very hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
- Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
- Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
Decisions to make first
Storage
Recess shelves into stud walls or boxing, put a mirror cabinet over the basin and use the wall above the WC. Avoid floor-standing units in very tight rooms.
Door
Re-hanging the door to open outwards, or fitting a sliding door, frees the space behind it. In a very small room this alone can make space for a bigger shower.
Rules that apply in England
In England, changes to the wiring in a room with a bath or shower are notifiable under Part P, so use an electrician registered with a competent person scheme. If you replace the extractor fan, do not fit one that extracts less than the old one; Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second for an intermittent bathroom fan.
