    Hi folks,
    I'm refurbishing a detached house. As part of the works, I'm thinking of adding a ground floor WC (currently at ground floor I have just Kitchen, Living, Dining and Hall). My question is, since I'm putting in a new WC, what is the minimum size? Does it really have to be fully wheelchair accessible, as space is really at a premium for me!

    Google 'Part m doe' look at the 'small house' requirement for ambulant disabled.

    Surely thats for new houses though? I mean, if the existing space there is simply tight, I guess I can only work with what I have?

    From a building regulation point of view, use what space you have to creat a WC that works for you. If it wasn't there before hand, then anything you do is improving the situation.


    That's my opinion on the matter.
