Although the toilet was in working order and had been renovated fairly recently, the exposed cistern and pipework made the small room feel cramped and visually dated. Fitting a wall-hung WC pan and a concealed cistern, new ventilation, a suspended ceiling with LED lighting and a recessed storage niche produced a cleaner, more functional and far more modern space.
