Where do downstairs shower rooms usually fit in a Stone house?

The three common spots on Stone 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 Stone 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 Stone 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 Stone survey.

Can you put a cloakroom in a Victorian terrace?

Yes — in Stone 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 Stone home liveable while the work runs.

A downstairs shower room is one of the most-requested layouts on our Stone 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.

We've fitted cloakroom fitting in Stone long enough to know the houses inside out.
