Fitting out office washrooms

Office washrooms are used all day by many people. Durability, ventilation and cleaning access matter more than anything decorative.

In many office buildings the washrooms sit in the core and are provided by the landlord; in others, tenants fit out their own, connecting to drainage and water points the base build provides. Either way, the layout is tied to those connection points, and an upgrade usually works within the existing positions rather than moving them.

Element pages explain one part of a larger renovation in detail: what is being chosen, what the installation involves, and where the cost and time usually sit.

The finishes have to cope with constant use and frequent cleaning. Cubicle systems, wall-hung fittings that let floors be cleaned underneath, hard-wearing surfaces and good extraction keep a washroom pleasant. Accessibility requirements may also apply to at least one facility, depending on the building.

What matters most on this page

  • Work to the connections

    Layouts follow the base-build drainage and water points.

  • Easy to clean

    Wall-hung fittings and continuous surfaces reduce corners where dirt collects.

  • Strong extraction

    Washrooms need effective, continuous extraction to stay fresh.

Washroom elements

  • Cubicle systems

    Compact laminate or similar panels resist moisture and impact, with robust hardware.

  • Vanity tops

    Solid surface or stone with integrated or undermounted basins, sized for the number of users.

  • Accessible facility

    Where required, a washroom with the space, fittings and rails for wheelchair users.

Before the washroom design

  • Confirm who provides washrooms

    Landlord core facilities or tenant fit-out.

  • Locate the connection points

    From the base-build drawings.

  • Check accessibility needs

    Building and authority requirements for accessible facilities.

Questions we are often asked

Can we add a washroom inside our office?

Only where drainage connections are available. The landlord’s drawings show where that is possible.

Why do our washrooms smell?

Often weak extraction or dry traps in rarely used floor drains. Both can be addressed in a fit-out.

Are sensor taps worth it?

They reduce water use and touching, but need power or batteries and occasional maintenance.

How many washroom fittings do we need?

It depends on headcount and the building or authority requirements. The landlord’s base-build design usually states the occupancy the core facilities were planned for.
