Currently we have an enclosed front room. With no direct access to outside door. You still have to go through front door. But stairwell is protected from front room, with route of escape via kitchen. Have attached plans.
Yep I see your point. Therefore if there’s no need for any downstairs toilet in 1987, you can’t argue that a toilet needs to be a certain size.
That’s good news. Thank you for reassurance. Let’s hope building regs person has that same common sense.
We want to keep the toilet. Just make it a lot smaller than it currently is. Which means it won’t be wheelchair accessible which the current regs apparently say it has to be.
Sorry for stupid question. I just wanted some peace of mind. Had a bit of a sleepless night last night after building regs guy came round and made some mad suggestions like this one.
Hi. I live in a 3 storey town house. I want to open up the downstairs area to make the entrance room/reception room bigger. Which means the front door will lead straight into room with staircase within it. There is still a fire door separating the kitchen from the stairs. Is this allowed or will...
Hi. I have a house built before 1999 with a downstairs toilet. I want to make this toilet room smaller. Do I need to comply with building regs M and keep it big enough for disabled access. Or given the house is pre-1999 this doesn’t apply to me.
