Parmiter's School - Washrooms - Brookhouse
Parmiter’s School faced the challenge of refurbishing five outdated washroom blocks to accommodate its growing student population better. The primary goal was to increase the number of cubicles in each washroom to address capacity issues effectively.
With work planned during term time for two washrooms and over the summer for the remaining three, the school needed a solution that minimised disruption to daily activities while delivering high-quality results.

How Brookhouse increased washroom capacity by over 30%
Brookhouse approached this challenge with a proven methodology for conducting term-time refurbishments efficiently and with minimal disruption. We focused on the Sixth Form washroom and gym toilets first, executing the renovations during the school term without interrupting the academic schedule.
Our design utilised the available space to maximise the number of full-height enclosed cubicles, increasing capacity by over 30% in each washroom.
This was achieved by employing stylish and highly durable solid-grade laminate (SGL) for the cubicles, providing practicality and a modern aesthetic that met the school's expectations.

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
Once approved, we manufacture and install everything from flooring and ceilings to plumbing, furniture and final decoration. We deliver a complete turnkey space with no need for third parties.
8. Handover & Ongoing Support
After completion, we conduct a full handover and walkthrough, with warranty support and optional aftercare packages available. Your space is ready from day one - and supported long after.
“Brookhouse transformed our washroom facilities with an impressive blend of style and functionality. Their ability to execute the refurbishment during term time with minimal disruption was invaluable.
We are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to the continued upgrades planned for next summer.”
