Downstairs WC woes

[Callismichael]

Hello

I really need some help on installing a downsairs WC. i'm turning my existing kitchen in to a hall way and converting my garage into the kitchen. As the hallway will be spacious due to taking a studwall down by the stairs I thought that it would be a good idea to install a small downstairs WC. the only problem (as im a little OCD) is as you come out of the living room door there will be a visual kink in the corridor leading to the hallway due to the wall sticking out where the downstairs WC is.
My question is, from a design perspective does the attached plan look plane silly due to a wall sticking out or would the house still have a good flow leading to the hall? I ideally wanted the WC under the stairs but would mean installing a saniflow system due to the soil pipe being the other side of the room so I think that this would be too much mither.

your opinions are appreciated, thanks again.

As long as its not the main WC in the house and you don't put the wrong things into it then a macerator should be fine.

Others here may not like them because they don't like being called to fix them but I don't have any problem with them and mine fitted about 6 years ago has always worked fine without any problems.

I am thinking about the macerator route then again visually i dont think that it would be much of an issue to have part of the wall protruding in the hall. I just like things to flow but I suppose chimney breasts are acceptible

Personally I would go the Saniflo route rather than the Saniflow route. Just saying.

Frankly you'd be mental to consider a macerator... especially Saniflo warnk.

You'd be better off schitting into a carrier bag.

 

[Callismichael]

Difficult one. What are peoples opinion on the layout plan above? ie having a bit of an agnled route near the stairs?

 

[Dan Robinson]

The attached plans contradict your description.

 

[Callismichael]

Yes one important thing I didnt mention was the garage will be the kitchen and the existing kitchen will be a hallway! apologies Dan!

 

[Dan Robinson]

Can you draw the proposed layout? Is it essential the loo goes. Under the stairs?

 

[Callismichael]

Hi Dan

im proposing having the loo in front of the boiler:

this will be more appropriate due to the soil pipe being there i'm just a bit unsire on the slight kink layout but that's my OCD playing tricks

I`m sure the man servicing your boiler will be impressed if he has to straddle the loo to do his bit.

I ideally wanted the WC under the stair

?????

OP, your intentions are bouncing around all over the place.

I`m sure the man servicing your boiler will be impressed if he has to straddle the loo

Had to straddle worse.

 

[Callismichael]

Well ideally wanted it under the stairs so there's a nice flow through the hall. Boiler will be in a cupboard, then a stud then the toilet. having it under stairs would mean channeling soil pipe to soil pipe at the side of the boiler. If I have it in the diagram it means I can connect it about half a metre to the soil pipe

I would put the Wc the other side under the stairs, if the angled walls now are putting you off, what will it be like when it's done?

I hate toilets under the stairs. Worries me that people can hear when you're straining to "lay a cable".
