Need help with my utility / WC layout

8 years ago

last modified: 8 years ago

After some advice please....

We are utilising a room for a WC and utility room. The attached photo, apologies that it's not clearer, highlights where the toilet is currently plumbed in to and also shows the wall in which the radiator is plumbed in to. Looking for some advise on storage / WM / TD layout. I also hear that you may need to have 2 different sinks, is this true?

Would like the room to house a toilet / sink / washing machine and tumble dryer

Room is 2020 wide by 1880, moving the door isn't an option

Thank you for your help

is it possible to see a wider look at the position within the home as an alternative might spring to mind where you could maybe have separate toilet and laundry area, by adding an extra door perhaps?

It would be possible however the rest of the build is 90% complete now so this room is where we are to house these amenities

It's now deciding on the best layout and maximising the space we do have

Thank you for your time

I would actually move the sink and toilet to the long wall opposite the door, and stack up the washing machine and dryer (if you have one) in that corner between the toilet and basin. There will then be loads of storage space on top of the up to 2m long worktop you can have in whichever combination you want. The smallest space for a toilet and basin in my opinion is only 1.2m, so you can have 0.8 to plan for other sort of floor length storage should you wish or a long worktop which is my preference. In the past I have used the MyPlan series from the Bathstore and I find them really reliable and flexible and suits almost any dimension - they do 30, 40, or 60 floor and wall units with or without mirrors, and 1.2, 1.5 or 1.8 polymarble worktop. Just my opinion but hope it helps.

Help with layout (downstairs WC)

Regarding having the WC under the stair, you would need to consider both drainage and ventilation. If you have a concrete floor, this can be a costly exercise to install drainage. A mechanical extract fan will also need to be installed which is ducted to an external wall. Depending on how the floor joists above are set out, this could mean having unsightly boxing through your lounge or sitting room. In terms of the proposal from 'Man about the House', I'd move the door down a bit to avoid the toilet when you enter. I don't think there's enough space to have the toilet going across the width of the WC and you also have to consider the head height beneath the stair. I hope you find this useful.

Hi I've noticed that when people post a plan of the area identifying doors/windows/obstructions etc they get a better response. Good luck!

Sorry another thought. I would think of changing the utility area. Instead of having a room think of keeping the space open plan. Use deep cupboards along the exterior wall to conceal integrated appliances and the boiler. Maybe put another cupboard housing the larder against the wall behind the current utility door (to the right as you walk in the room). Having it more open plan will make the waste pipe fade away. I have utility area against one wall, it works well. Only 170 cm long. Good luck
