loo under the stairs

Recommended Posts

Has anyone recently installed a loo under the stairs? We are in a typical, originally 3 bed (now loft extended to 5) mid-terraced house and the cupboard under the stairs looks improbably small but now the house is top heavy and we need more loos.... Does anyone have any recent experience and can recommend a local firm/give me a rough idea of costs ?


Thanks

Thanks for coming back to me. Did have to move the meters? Also did you install a sani flo or connect the waste? Other problem I am anticipating is where to stick the extractor? There is no outside wall (it is a terrace, so flexible ducting would have to go all the way down the length of the hall and out by the front door I reckon. Did you do the work yourself?

We took 3 feet off the end of our kitchen to make loo on outside wall and additional store cupboard on other side, next to existing under stairs cupboard. As our kitchen was knocked through already into kitchen diner it is still a good size. I think having loo next to outside wall helped with the plumbing. Not sure cost as it was part of other work we had done and a few years ago.

Apols - the hard work had been done before we moved in, ie a slight extension of the room (meter boxes etc were not in the way) and more importantly the waste pipe, which had been dug under the house into the back yard - but at a time the side extension was built. Size wise it works and the combined toilet and sink helps. https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/seattle-combined-two-in-one-wash-basin-toilet?campaign=googlebase&gclid=Cj0KCQiAn4PkBRCDARIsAGHmH3cFhSWWdn9nH-5u-Y8RlqOIPqxO7An_7zJsfoDH9Pij2o7NF4x5ulMaAg0wEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

IMO this is the kind of thing you usually do if you're having other major work done, e.g. kitchen refurb. Then you can take up the kitchen floor and dig down down to connect up the soil pipe, and extraction can be designed into the new kitchen.. maybe even concealed in the ceiling.


Otherwise, you'll need a macerator, with 22mm pipes under the floorboards and probably some boxing in. Not ideal. And god knows where the extraction will go... maybe along the corner of the kitchen ceiling, with more boxing in?

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
