Toilet rules
hi, we have 3 units linked as one, so actually have 3 sets of mens and ladies… I know building regs for a new build require disabled access toilet but what are the requirements for toilets in existing buildings.
I would like to turn part of one of the toilets into a print room but as its 3 units, would I be breaching anything if we do that?
We will disuss with landlord but wanted to know if anyone out there been down this route.

Toilets should not be converted, they are ideal places for creative contemplation……

Dave, In answer to your original question. – There is absolutely nothing wrong with converting one of your toilets into a print room. Go for it I say… ..:lol1: 😕
-
but do you have the right JV3 profile for andrex toilet roll mate? 😕
-
If it’s to be used for a solvent printer, I don’t suppose anyone will worry about the smell much 😕

Watch out for brown streaks in your prints!

At least people wouldn’t complain about the smell anymore.
-Marek -
If anyone is actually interested 😛 …. it is against the building regs here to convert a loo into anthing other than what it is supposed to be…..
…. unless you get council approval of course, but our council here would get the EPA involved and no one wants them snooping around if they can avoid it 😕

From the Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations (1992) Approved Code Of Practice:
Minimum numbers of facilities
201 Table 1 shows the minimum number of sanitary conveniences and washing stations which should be provided. The number of people at work shown in column 1 refers to the maximum number likely to be in the workplace at any one time. Where separate sanitary accommodation is provided for a group of workers, for example men, women, office workers or manual workers, a separate calculation should be made for each group.1 to 5 people at work, 1 water closet, 1 washstation
6 to 25 people, 2 wc, 2 washstations
26 to 50 people, 3 wc, 3
51 to 75, 4 wc, 4
76 to 100, 5 wc, 5202 In the case of sanitary accommodation used only by men, Table 2 may be followed if desired, as an alternative to column 2 of Table 1. A urinal may either be an individual urinal or a section of urinal space which is at least 600 mm long.
1 to 15 men, 1 wc, 1 urinal
16 to 30 men, 2 wc, 1
31 to 45 men, 2 wc, 2
46 to 60 men, 3 wc, 2
61 to 75 men, 3 wc, 3
76 to 90 men, 4 wc, 3
91 to 100 men, 4 wc, 4203 An additional water closet, and one additional washing station, should
be provided for every 25 people above 100 (or fraction of 25). In the case of water closets used only by men, an additional water closet for every 50 men (or fraction of 50) above 100 is sufficient provided at least an equal number of additional urinals are provided.204 Where work activities result in heavy soiling of face, hands and forearms, the number of washing stations should be increased to one for every 10 people at work (or fraction of 10) up to 50 people; and one extra for every additional 20 people (or fraction of 20).
Since the regs do not state any quantities, there is no legal minimum, although following the ACOP is good practice.

As this whole thread is going down the PAN ithought I’d add these to the toilet humour list (sorry for the Hi-jack Dave)
The Perfect Dump.
Every once in a while everyone experiences the perfect dump.
It’s rare but a real thing of beauty. You sit down expecting the
worst, but what you get is a smooth sliding, fartless masterpiece that
breaks the water with the splashless grace of an Olympic high-diving
champion.
You use the toilet tissue to find that it was totally unnecessary. It
makes you feel that all is right in the world and that you are in
perfect harmony with it.The Beer Dump.
Nasty! Depends upon the dumper’s tolerance and is the result of too
many beers – doesn’t matter if it was 2 or 22. What you get is a
sinister, lengthy noisy dump accompanied by an odious malevolent fog
that could close the bathroom for days. Naked flames are ill advised…..The Chilli Dump (a.k.a. the Japanese Flag).
Hot when it goes in and napalm when it comes out. This dump makes
the bowl look like Hiroshima (after the bomb), it stays with you all
day stinging your ring and generally making your choccie starfish feel
like the Shuttle’s heat shield. Also makes your ass look like "a
Japanese Flag".The Empty Roll Dump.
Relief – you’ve finished and reach for the tissue only to find An
empty cardboard cylinder staring back at you. Panic overcomes you. You
could use the curtains but then someone would ask
"where are the curtains?" Use the rug? Nah, too bulky and
cumbersome. You then come to the same conclusion that every "empty
roll dumper " must face…..pull up your kecks tighten your cheeks and
shuffle yourself to the nearest loo roll. Failing that you could always
use
your
shirt-tail or one of your socks!The Splash Back Dump.
This one drops like a depth charge creating a column of cold water
That washes your sphincter with a startlingly unpleasant shock. Now
you are wet – and embarrassed if the column of water went half way up
your back.
Tip of the day: blot instead of wiping.The Childbirth Dump.
This one is just too big to go through the aperture provided by
nature for this purpose. You sit there thinking over your dilemma.
First it hurts, and then gets no better. You sweat violently and
wonder if you’ll ever see your loved ones again. You imagine the
newspaper
headlines screaming "Man dies trying to hatch monster loaf!" There are
only
three things you can do:
1. Scream
2. Call an Obstetrician
3. Hope to hell you’ve got some Vaseline to help you get through it.The Machine Gun Dump.
Best utilised in public conveniences. You sit there in sublime peace
when suddenly you emit a group of noisy gassy bursts that break the
tranquility like machine gun fire. The guy in the next cubicle hits
the floor like a Vietnam veteran, cradling his umbrella like a
M16….damn commies.The Sound Effect Dump.
You feel a noisy one coming on but relatives, friends or work mates
are within earshot. So, you must employ some clever techniques to
cover the disgusting sounds you are about to emit. Timing is of the
essence.
At the precise moment of release, try the following:
1. Flush the toilet
2. Drop loose change on the floor,
3. Sing the first two stanzas of your favourite opera.The Cling-On Dump.
You’ve finished but there’s one damn morsel that refuses to drop
You grip the seat with both hands and wriggle. You twist and pump but
the little bastard just hangs there, suspended, clinging like a canned
peach between you and the water below. If only you had some
scissors….The Whole Roll Dump.
No matter how much you wipe, it just isn’t enough. You blow the
whole roll and have to flush at least a dozen times. The whole episode
is consumer waste.The Encore Dump.
Ahhh, you’ve done, so you wipe, dress, flush, wash hands and are
About to leave the auditorium when you feel another dump coming on.
You must therefore return for a curtain call. The world record is seven
encores……The Houdini Dump.
You go, you stand to flush and it has disappeared! Did it creep down
the pipe or did you dream the whole thing? Should you flush? Oh yes as
you can guarantee that if you don’t, it will reappear and smile at the
next person who comes in. -

I’ll tell you a true story.
Last summer,me Alison and the kids booked a weeks holiday on a caravan site near Wolverhampton. There were no caravans available for hire – but the site did have two or three "Chalets" available. These sounded ideal – a sitting room with a convertible bed settee – and a separate bedroom and small toilet showeroom. It sounded ideal for our purpose so we booked to stay for a week in one of them.
Our first impression of the accomodation on arrival was that it was very cramped and although it had a sliding glass patio door leading into the main room – all the other windows in the "Chalet" were high up near the roofline above eyelevel, so although they let light in – you couldn’t actually see out of them.
Then it finally dawned on me – our holiday "Chalet" was in fact a converted toilet block.
Needless to say we didn’t stay all week. 😳
Honest – true story 😮
