Downstairs Shower Room in Fenton
Downstairs WCs and compact cloakrooms in tight footprints.
A downstairs shower room is one of the most-requested layouts on our Fenton surveys — usually for a parent moving in, recovery from surgery, or simply to future-proof a two-storey home.
We plan the drainage first, not the aesthetics: 40mm or 50mm waste with the right fall, macerator only where a gravity run genuinely isn't possible, and a step-free tray flush with the finished floor whenever slab depth allows.
When Fenton homeowners ask us about cloakroom fitting, the first thing we look at is the room itself.

Downstairs Shower Room FAQs — Fenton
- Where do downstairs shower rooms usually fit in a Fenton house?
- The three common spots on Fenton surveys: converting the under-stairs cupboard, taking half the utility room, or building into a rear extension. We measure all three during the visit.
- Can you fit a step-free tray on a ground floor?
- Usually yes — solid slab floors in Fenton homes take a formed low-profile or wet-room tray with the right fall. Suspended timber floors need joist notching, which we survey properly.
- Do downstairs showers need a macerator?
- Only if gravity to the soil stack isn't possible. On the majority of Fenton jobs we get a proper gravity run at 1:40, which is quieter and more reliable long-term.
- How long does the install take?
- Under-stairs conversions run 5–7 working days; utility conversions 6–9; extension fit-outs 8–12. Fixed quote after your Fenton survey.
- Can you put a cloakroom in a Victorian terrace?
- Yes — in Fenton terraces we usually carve a cloakroom out of the rear lobby or a pantry corner, running waste through the external wall to the existing drain.
- Do you tidy up at the end of each day?
- Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Fenton home liveable while the work runs.
