What to Consider When Planning an Office Toilet Refurbishment

Office facilities, such as toilets and washrooms have a big impact on how a workplace and office is perceived by both staff and visitors. It may not be the first thing that business leaders think about, however, if left unkept, office toilets can quickly become filthy, with build up of dirt and bacteria, and facilities can end up broken and out of service pretty fast. Washrooms are amongst the most used facilities of any workplace, so it is essential that they are managed correctly hygiene-wise, ensuring that your facilities meet cleanliness standards and expectations for all.

Assessing your current facilities

Before you jump into your next office toilet refurbishment, it is important to analyse your current office washrooms. Ask yourself, what is performing well and what isn’t? Things to look out for are outdated sanitary fixtures, flooring and walls that are quite hard to keep clean or any cubicles, urinals or doors that are partly or totally out of use and broken. Re-evaluating your current facilities also gives you the chance to take a look at the layout of your washroom altogether to determine if the space is being used as best as possible. Sometimes, rearranging the layout via a toilet refurbishment can allow for a much easier and hygienic experience, with less maintenance required.

Setting a budget

It is important to set a realistic budget so that expectations are met and you get the best out of your refurbishment. The cost of a refurbishment can vary depending on the size of the area in question, the materials used and the extent of the renovation itself. Typically, toilet refurbishments include replacing cubicles, urinals, sinks, doors and various other features within the restroom. It is also important to allow for a bit of flexibility with the budget in order to ensure that you get the best results, however, ensuring that you have a realistic maximum spend is also crucial to ensure that you do not overspend.

Compliance & Accessibility

When refurbishing a toilet, it is crucial that you ensure that the design and layout complies with relevant workplace regulations and accessibility requirements. Restrooms must be hygienic, safe to use and accessible for those with disabilities.
