Working in Litherland

In Litherland we cover L20, L21 and L22; we also cover Bootle, 0.8 miles away, and Maghull.

Litherland gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We measure small bathrooms in Litherland to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits. If you live in a terrace or semi in Litherland with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain.

Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about 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
Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

Decisions to make first

Glass

Clear glass with a slim profile or none lets the eye travel through the room. A fixed panel needs no clearance for a door to swing.

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.

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.

Who handles building control for a small bathroom in Litherland?

Wall-hung or floor-standing toilet in a small bathroom?

A wall-hung toilet makes a small bathroom look larger and is easier to clean around, because the floor runs underneath it. It needs a concealed frame inside a false wall or boxing roughly 150 to 200 mm deep, which can often go where pipe boxing already sits. A back-to-wall pan in a slim furniture unit is a good middle option.
