Build stud wall to add downstairs wc in the kitchen area.

Hi Fryessa Your question is fairly straightforward and the short answer is yes you can make it fit, but please also consider the points below and a question for you too. Is there room or opportunity to create a small lobby into the toilet rather than open the door directly to the wc pan, or can the entry door be put into another existing wall? Points to consider - It would not be good building practice to create a toilet inside a kitchen. There are a number of factors to consider besides the functionality including smell and extraction / ventilation, connecting the waste into the stack, impact on the resale or value of your home and complying with building regulations. Let's begin with building regulations. Building regulations exist to ensure that your home is built to certain standards or codes of practice, they are there to protect you the homeowner. The greatest interest building control have is structure or fire but there is also a keen interest in electricity, plumbing (waste) and ventilation. Building control officers work for the local council and are generally very helpful as well as being very knowledgeable. I strongly suggest a phone call to them, their number will be on the council website under "building control". They will advise exactly what they would like to see and inspect. Connecting into the stack - please look at the position of your existing stack, this is the 100 mm diameter pipe (generally on the outside wall of the house) that your current toilet connects into. Please be sure that your new toilet can be connected and maintain a fall, you will also need to consider inspection and rodding access. This is an important part of the job and must be connected properly if you are to avoid blockage or poor flow from your new toilet. Extract and ventilation - you will need to install an extract fan to remove any smells. The only way to avoid this is if you have a window in the toilet so that the room can be "purge" ventilated. Apologies for the length of my answer but my final point is if you ever intend to sell the home, what impact would a kitchen accessed toilet have on a potential buyer? Adding an extra loo will add value to your home, however please consider allowing for a little more investment to find the best solution so you avoid it becoming a negative. I hope I helped a little and I wish you all the best with your project, good luck. IPS
