How much space do I need under my Burslem stairs for a WC?

Roughly 800mm × 1.5m of usable footprint and 1.9m head height over the WC pan. We'll measure and confirm at the free survey.

Will I need building regs sign-off?

Yes — adding a new WC requires building regs notification. We'll handle the install paperwork; the council issues the completion certificate.

Usually yes in Burslem terraces, with a 100mm soil branch. If the stack is too far we'll spec a slim macerator unit.

Mandatory — a ducted fan (humidistat or timer) to outside is required. Recirculation isn't acceptable on a new internal WC.

Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Burslem home liveable while the work runs.

Lead time is usually two to five weeks from a confirmed quote, depending on the spec and our current schedule across the Staffordshire side.
