Under-Stairs Cloakroom Installation in Stone
Downstairs WCs and compact cloakrooms in tight footprints.
Under-stairs cloakrooms are the most space-efficient bathroom upgrade most Stone 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.
Most of our cloakroom fitting jobs in Stone begin with a slow walk round the house, not a quote on the doorstep.
Common under-stairs cloakroom issues in Stone homes
Owners adding a downstairs WC to a terrace or semi in Stone hit a recurring set of issues with under-stairs cloakroom:
Head height under the stairs too low for a standard WC at the wrong position — flagged regularly on Stone jobs.
Soil stack too far for gravity drainage without a pump — flagged regularly on Stone jobs.
No mechanical extraction — required on any internal new WC — flagged regularly on Stone jobs.
On the Stone side of our patch: old quarry-tiled hallways that need careful overlay.
In Stone we regularly find narrow doorways that won't take a standard wc pan in transit.

Under-Stairs Cloakroom FAQs — Stone
- How much space do I need under my Stone 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 Stone 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.
- Can a cloakroom fit under our stairs in Stone?
- Usually yes — most Stone 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.
- Do you provide a fixed-price quote before starting?
- Always. After a free home visit in Stone we send a fully itemised, fixed-price quotation — no surprises on invoice day.
