Read More »Ask anyone who has small children what they would most like to change about their home and chances are that they would say they would love a downstairs toilet. Although most modern homes have a downstairs loo as standard, and some very old properties have the only bathroom in the house on the ground level, in most houses built from the 1930s right through to the 1980s, there is no bathroom downstairs. Adding one can bring a whole host of benefits not just for families with children, but for anyone who has ever queued to get into the only bathroom in the house, or who has dealt with muddy footprints trailing up the stairs after a dash into the bathroom from the garden. But adding a downstairs toilet isn't as simple as it might first appear, and there are many rules and regulations to consider. Planning permission is generally not required to add a bathroom into a property, assuming it is not forming part of an extension to the building. The rules do vary across the country though, and the law will be different for people living in a listed building or within a conservation area. The golden rule when it comes to planning any sort of alterations to the house is that if in doubt, check. A quick phone call to the Council before you start knocking walls down or buying tiles may save considerable time and hassle in the long run. Building Regulations will most definitely apply in all cases of adding a downstairs toilet. Building Regulations are concerned with making sure that things are done correctly, especially with regards to plumbing, drainage and ventilation, and without a building control completion certificate your property will be very difficult to sell in the future. Building Control departments at local Councils are generally approachable and friendly and are happy to give general guidance over the telephone or by email to ensure you are keeping within the guidelines.

Read More »One of the main stumbling blocks when installing a downstairs loo is that many councils will demand that any toilet installed on the ground floor level of a house is fully accessible for people who use wheelchairs. The door frame has to be wide enough to get a wheelchair through, and there needs to be enough floor space to park a wheelchair and manoeuvre it around.
To put it simply, fertilizers and products that are labeled, “plant food,” are really just soil additives that contain lots of nutrients.
