School Washroom Refurb in Watford, Hertfordshire
Watford Grammar for Girls had an issue with their existing washroom capacity. Students were having to cross large parts of the estate to use a facility and disabled access was an issue.
With a limited budget and restricted space where on earth could they create a washroom block with 14 fully segregated cubicles.
Limited Space for New Facilities
Inadequate Disabled Access
Tight Budget
How Brookhouse refurbished Watford Grammar’s Washrooms
Firstly the ideal location across the estate was identified, next was what could be done to achieve a washroom block aroudn that area within the restricted budget.
It had to be a refurbishment of an existing space. Taking into account existing services and cost implications an existing technology room was identified as the most suitable space.

A Proven Process That Gets It Right First Time
1. Discovery & Site Survey
Every project starts with a detailed discovery meeting and (where required) a 3D site scan. This enables the capture of precise measurements and existing conditions - removing guesswork and reducing future rework.
2. Design Brief Workshop
We host a collaborative workshop with your key stakeholders to capture the vision, budget, and any technical or safeguarding requirements. This ensures your goals shape every stage of the design.
3. Space Planning & 2D Layouts
Our in-house design team produces 2D plans with up to three revisions, ensuring the layout is functional and fully compliant with educational or commercial standards.
4. Mood Boards & Finishes Selection
We propose tailored finishes and materials in a dedicated mood board considering durability, hygiene, aesthetics, and future maintenance - all aligned to your brand or building identity.
5. 3D Visuals & Walkthroughs
Using Autodesk Revit and 3D modelling, we provide sketches, renders, and even virtual walkthroughs (where required) - helping you visualise the finished space and avoid late-stage surprises.
6. Furniture & Specification Schedule
You receive a full FF&E specification and product schedule covering fitted joinery, loose furniture, and specialist equipment. This is so you know exactly what you’re getting, and where.
7. Full Fit-Out & Project Delivery
