Our client asked us whether it would be possible to convert their under-stairs cupboard into a cloakroom WC as they had young children and parents with walking difficulties - this would be a welcome addition if possible.

Having surveyed the room, we concluded it was easily possible.

AWI designed, specified, supplied and installed this cloakroom.

Unfortunately, there are no before pictures in this project - not much to see before anyhow, but the cameraman is once again to blame.

From start to finish the job included:

• Removal of the shelving within and laminate flooring
• Construction of a new stud wall at the back of the cupboard to ensure that the WC head height would be suitable for use
• Re-plumbing including re-building the soil stack to allow the necessary waste connections, provision of hot and cold water supplies
• Re-wiring including addition of a switch batten light fitting with timed extractor fan to comply with building regulations (when there is no opening window, a suitable fan MUST be installed)
• All walls fully skimmed ready for paint
• Floor fully tiled (porcelain tiles)
• Installation of suite including WC and wall hung basin
• Installation of skirting boards
