More information

What your cloakroom installation covers

A cloakroom installation is a small-space project, but it still needs careful planning and proper plumbing standards. You can expect a complete plumbing install for a new or refurbished cloakroom, from initial set-out through to final testing.

  • Review of proposed layout and existing pipework routes
  • First fix plumbing for hot and cold supplies and waste runs
  • Connection to soil stack and wastes (where accessible and suitable)
  • Second fix plumbing: fitting off and connecting WC, basin, taps and traps
  • Isolation valves and leak prevention measures where appropriate
  • Pressure and leak testing of water and waste systems
  • Snagging checks and a clear handover of what has been installed

When this service is the right fit

  • You want a convenient downstairs WC for guests or a busy household
  • You are refurbishing a hallway, utility area or under-stairs space
  • You need a robust, lettable cloakroom setup for a rental property
  • You are upgrading to reduce leaks, smells, slow drainage or poor water flow

How the installation is delivered

Work is typically completed in planned stages to keep the job predictable and to coordinate with any building, carpentry, plastering or tiling. First fix covers pipework positioning and waste routes, then second fix connects and tests the fixtures once surfaces are ready. Where access is tight or existing pipework needs alterations, you will be advised on the best route before work proceeds.

After installation: testing and peace of mind

Before handover, all joints and connections are checked under working conditions to confirm there are no leaks and that the WC flush and basin waste run correctly. You will be shown isolation points and advised on basic maintenance steps to help prevent blockages and call-outs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a cloakroom installation?
It usually includes first and second fix plumbing, connection of the WC and basin, and testing of water and waste. If you already have fixtures, the service can cover reconnecting them if they are compatible and in good condition.
How long does a cloakroom installation take?
Time depends on whether pipework and drainage are already in the right place and how easy access is. Many installations are completed across staged visits to suit other works like tiling, flooring or decorating.
Can you install a cloakroom under the stairs?
Yes, provided there is a workable route for water supplies and a compliant waste connection. A site assessment helps confirm clearances, ventilation needs and the best position for the WC and basin.
Will you work with my builder or bathroom fitter?
Yes, plumbing work can be planned around your installer’s schedule for first fix and second fix stages. Clear coordination helps avoid delays and reduces the risk of rework or damaged finishes.
Do you handle testing and fixing leaks after installation?
All pipework and connections are tested before handover to confirm proper operation. If an issue appears afterwards, you can report it promptly so the fault can be assessed and resolved.
