Cloakroom for a Garage Conversion in Burslem
Downstairs WCs and compact cloakrooms in tight footprints.
Adding a cloakroom to a garage conversion in a Burslem property means solving three problems at once: getting a waste run out to the existing stack, insulating a slab that was never designed to be lived on, and ventilating a room with no window on an external wall.
We plan the WC position against the shortest waste route, insulate to current U-values, and route a ducted extract through the new warm-roof buildup. The finished cloakroom feels part of the house, not a bolt-on.
Cloakroom Fitting in Burslem isn't a one-template job — every house we walk into reveals something different.

Garage Conversion Cloakroom FAQs — Burslem
- Can a cloakroom go anywhere in a Burslem garage conversion?
- Almost — the WC needs to sit within about 3m of a viable soil route. On most Burslem garages that means backing onto the original party wall with the house.
- Do you insulate the slab under the cloakroom?
- Yes — 75-100mm PIR under a floating floor is our standard Burslem spec, so the cloakroom floor doesn't feel colder than the rest of the converted room.
- Can I have a shower in the garage conversion?
- Yes — spec up to a shower-room instead. That changes the waste calc and the extract sizing; we'll price both options in Burslem.
- Do you handle the Building Regs?
- Yes — garage conversions are notifiable in Burslem, and the cloakroom drainage forms part of that notification. We manage it end to end.
- Do you tidy up at the end of each day?
- Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Burslem home liveable while the work runs.
- Are you fully insured for work in Burslem?
- Yes — we hold full public liability cover and every job in Burslem comes with a written workmanship guarantee.
