Restoration & Refurbishment

Outdoors toilet into indoors toilet with small extension

Anonymous user 15/03/2024 - 2.48 PM

We are looking to convert an outdoors toilet into an indoors toilet - with an extension to make it so. The extension (3mx 3m) will run off the kitchen and act as a utility room with a door to the outside toilet (now indoors). Is this a) possible? We are looking for a full renovation project (knock through kitchen and dining room walls and build new kitchen and bathroom) too. We are based in crystal palace/south norwood, south london and will be tendering for work as soon as we complete.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

This is all feasible, you will require Building regs approval and possibly planning. You will need drawings and engineers calculations for all structural work including any drains affected, most structural engineers will also do some basic drawings saving the cost of an Architect. A quick chat with your local council planning department will ensure you are legal, its free advice too.

All of the proposed works will require building regulation approval. Leaving the toilet in situ would be tricky as you would have to demolish and upgrade the floor with oversite and insulation to comply with regulations .

The floor level in the outside toilet is likely to be at a lower level. The floor in the former outhouse will need excavating and 10 cm of insulation will need to be placed under a new layer of concrete ( with new damp proof course). The walls of the outhouse will need insulating which will probably require the toilet moving and potentially the waste pipe into the underground drainage. After that is done the project should be able to progress in the manner of a domestic refurbishment.

You do not require a planing permission for extension under or equal to 3 metres. And yes it's all possible.
