WHAT IS A CLOAKROOM CONVERSION?

Traditionally, a cloakroom was a small ground-floor space used for hanging coats or storing shoes — often located under the stairs or near the front entrance. In today’s homes, these areas are increasingly being converted into usable rooms, such as WCs, compact shower rooms, or utility spaces.

A cloakroom conversion involves transforming an underutilised or awkward space into a functional and stylish room that serves a daily purpose. These projects typically involve plumbing, tiling, flooring, ventilation, lighting, and tailored joinery — all of which we provide in-house under one project team.

MOST COMMON CLOAKROOM CONVERSION USES

While each home and homeowner has unique needs, here are the most popular purposes for cloakroom conversions:

1. Downstairs Toilet (WC)

Adding a ground-floor toilet is by far the most popular cloakroom conversion. It's a huge convenience for guests and family members — especially in homes with only one upstairs bathroom. With smart plumbing, even compact spaces can accommodate a toilet and hand basin.

2. Shower Room or Wet Room

Where space permits, a small shower enclosure or wet room can be added, increasing your home's practicality and future-proofing it for accessibility. Ideal for growing families, elderly residents, or overnight guests.

3. Utility Room

Many cloakrooms are converted into utility areas with stacked washing machines, dryers, and storage cupboards — freeing up space in the kitchen or bathroom.

4. Compact Home Office or Study Nook

Thanks to hybrid working, more homeowners are transforming their cloakrooms into small, private work zones with a built-in desk, shelving, and lighting.

5. Smart Storage

For busy family homes, converting a cloakroom into a smart storage space — with seating, shoe cubbies, and coat hooks — helps organise daily clutter and improve hallway traffic.

BENEFITS OF CLOAKROOM CONVERSIONS

Cloakroom conversions deliver a range of benefits beyond aesthetics. Here’s why they’re one of the most requested home improvements in Derbyshire:

✔ Adds Practical Value

Whether it's a second toilet or a laundry area, you're adding functional space that supports modern living.

✔ Increases Property Value

A home with an additional WC or utility room can command a higher resale price and broader appeal to potential buyers.

✔ Makes the Most of Wasted Space

That unused area under your stairs or next to the front door becomes a hard-working part of the home.

✔ Ideal for Accessibility

A downstairs toilet is invaluable for elderly residents, children, or guests with mobility issues.

✔ Minimal Disruption

Compared to large-scale renovations, cloakroom conversions are compact, quick, and relatively inexpensive — especially when using existing plumbing lines.

POPULAR STYLE FEATURES

At Derbyshire Specialists Group, we blend function with flair — and cloakrooms are the perfect canvas for bold design ideas. Below are popular features and style trends our clients love:


Modern Minimalism

Think wall-hung toilets, floating vanities, and concealed cisterns — all helping create a sense of space. Clean lines and neutral palettes are ideal for compact areas.

Traditional Chic

Victorian-inspired tiles, shaker-style cabinetry, and classic sanitaryware bring character to heritage homes, especially in older Derbyshire properties.

Statement Features

Due to the small footprint, cloakrooms are a great space to try bold wallpaper, geometric tiles, or colourful basins without overwhelming a room.

Smart Storage

Built-in cabinets, mirrored wall units, and bespoke shelving keep essentials tidy while maximising every inch.

Touchless & Eco Features

Modern cloakrooms often include touchless taps, dual-flush toilets, and LED lighting for improved hygiene and sustainability.

WHERE CAN WE BUILD A CLOAKROOM

We assess every property carefully, but common cloakroom conversion locations include:

  • Under-stairs cupboards
  • Hallway recesses
  • Former pantries or airing cupboards

If there’s enough space for a small basin and WC (approx. 0.8m x 1.5m), we can usually create a solution that works.

    In most cases, no planning permission is required, as it's considered a permitted development. However, building regulations still apply — particularly for ventilation and drainage. We take care of all compliance requirements.

  • How much does a garage conversion cost?

    Costs vary based on the size, complexity, and specifications of your project. A typical single garage conversion might start from around £8,000-£15,000. We provide a detailed, fixed-price quote after a free initial consultation.

  • How long does a cloakroom conversion take?

    Most cloakroom conversions are completed within 5–10 working days, depending on complexity and finishes. We provide a realistic timeline during your quote process.

  • How much space do I need for a cloakroom conversion?

    A basic downstairs toilet can fit into a space as small as 80cm x 150cm, though we recommend slightly larger for comfort. We’ll assess your available space and advise accordingly.

  • Can I add a shower in a cloakroom?

    Yes — if the space and drainage allow, we can include a compact shower enclosure or even a wet room setup. This is especially popular in homes with elderly residents or guests.

  • How much does a cloakroom conversion cost?

    Costs vary depending on layout, materials, and whether new plumbing is required. A basic WC conversion may start from £2,500, while a full shower room or bespoke utility area may range from £4,000 to £5,000+. We provide transparent, itemised quotes.
