Downstairs Shower Room in Hanley
Downstairs WCs and compact cloakrooms in tight footprints.
A downstairs shower room is one of the most-requested layouts on our Hanley 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.
Hanley is one of the areas we work in most weeks — so cloakroom fitting jobs here come with a working knowledge of the street layouts.

Downstairs Shower Room FAQs — Hanley
- Where do downstairs shower rooms usually fit in a Hanley house?
- The three common spots on Hanley 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 Hanley 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 Hanley 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 Hanley survey.
- Can a cloakroom fit under our stairs in Hanley?
- Usually yes — most Hanley family homes have an under-stair void that can take a corner basin and slim WC. We need around 800mm width and 1.9m head height at the WC pan.
- Are you fully insured for work in Hanley?
- Yes — we hold full public liability cover and every job in Hanley comes with a written workmanship guarantee.
