What Houzz contributors are saying:
Do your homeworkOne of the very first things you’ll need to look at when investigating the viability of an under-stairs cloakroom is your plumbing. Do seek the advice of a trusted plumber, who will be able to assess where the soil pipes currently run in the house, and how easy it would be to access them, or whether it would be necessary to lay a new pipeline. You could be looking at extra costs to dig under floorboards or across a driveway, so this should definitely be your first step. The alternative is a macerating toilet, which wouldn’t require such hefty pipework, but still has other implications. This type of loo sends waste to a macerating unit positioned at the rear or in the wall. The waste is liquified by high-powered blades and exits through a normal pipe attached to the main drain line. Macerating toilets themselves are often more expensive than standard ones, but you would save money on the installation.
