Under-Stairs Cloakroom Installation in Leek
Downstairs WCs and compact cloakrooms in tight footprints.
Under-stairs cloakrooms are the most space-efficient bathroom upgrade most Leek terraces can make — and the most commonly fitted badly.
We size up the void, check the soil-stack run, and design around the sloped ceiling so you don't crack your head on the underside of the third tread.
Plenty of the cloakroom fitting we quote across Leek starts the same way: a house that's outgrown its original bathroom layout.
Under-Stairs Cloakroom FAQs — Leek
- How much space do I need under my Leek 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.
- Can the waste connect to my existing stack?
- Usually yes in Leek terraces, with a 100mm soil branch. If the stack is too far we'll spec a slim macerator unit.
- What about ventilation?
- Mandatory — a ducted fan (humidistat or timer) to outside is required. Recirculation isn't acceptable on a new internal WC.
- Do you tidy up at the end of each day?
- Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Leek home liveable while the work runs.
- Do you provide a fixed-price quote before starting?
- Always. After a free home visit in Leek we send a fully itemised, fixed-price quotation — no surprises on invoice day.
