help please! 100 yo loft 'conversion' and building regs
Comments

Just wondered, do you mean a toilet/ small bathroom, rather than a place to keep 'cloaks'? I suspect you would require different regs if so.... and is the floor strong enough (joists etc) to take the weight of a bath/ shower if such is the case?This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

Don't think it'd need building regs.
Cloakroom = powder room, facilities, WC, loo, toilet (in my book anyway and I think that's what the OP meant

I think the poster means they are going to have mad parties and people will leave their coats in the loft - cloakroom0

Oh, the pee and poo room. Why didn't they say?0 -
Haha, yes pee and poo room. No shower or bath (unfortunately). Think we'd be lucky to be able to squeeze in a loo and teeny tiny basin. I've been trying to research this via Google but no luck. Are there minimum sizes for pee and poo rooms? Surely the disabled accessibility criterion can't apply for a room in the loft (but then it's building regs... so who knows). Also, what about sliding doors instead of standard ones?0

You'd be surprised how compact some of the built in units are these days. A spot for a full head height shower, the rest needs only a little space, side by side you can do it in a metre. Worth investigating.0

Not where I come from, it isn't. A bog is a bog, a cloakroom is for . . well, cloaks, who'd hang their clothes in the loo.:rotfl:phoebe1989seb wrote: »Cloakroom = powder room, facilities, WC, loo, toilet (in my book anyway and I think that's what the OP meant;))
Probably what the op meant though.;)0
