Changing room refurbishments
Whether you manage the facilities at a school, gym, leisure centre, or workplace, your changing rooms play a crucial role in user experience. We understand the unique needs of different environments, from high-traffic gyms and sports facilities to schools and workplaces. We design and install durable changing room refurbishments that prioritise safety, privacy, durability, and aesthetics.
Our changing room refurbs prioritise hygiene with easy-clean surfaces, ventilation systems, and the option to integrate touch-free dispensers and waste disposal units. Furthermore, slip-resistant flooring and strategically placed grab bars ensure a safe and comfortable experience for all users.

User safety and privacy in changing rooms:
In a school environment, student safety and privacy is of highest important. Our changing room designs incorporate private changing areas with partitions of appropriate height, and adequate lighting to promote a safe and comfortable changing experience for students whilst making best use of your space.
In gyms, leisure centres, and workplaces, we provide a variety of cubicle options, from traditional floor-to-ceiling partitions to innovative ‘shower pods’, ensuring user comfort and security.
Durability for long-lasting performance:
Whilst commercial changing rooms generally see a high steady flow of users, schools may experience peak times for using changing rooms. Both cases require robust materials. We use durable, moisture-resistant fixtures and fittings, such as solid grade laminate cubicles and rust-resistant stainless steel hardware, that can withstand constant use and cleaning.
Areas like showers and changing rooms are susceptible to moisture build-up. Our designs always include effective ventilation systems to prevent mold growth or rust from chemicals and ensure a comfortable environment. We also offer touch free dispensers and flushes to promote hygiene.
Meeting requirements:
The Department for Education (DfE) provides guidance that: ‘suitable changing accommodation and showers must be provided for pupils aged 11 years or over at the start of the school year who receive physical education’. Our team stays up-to-date on relevant regulations and ensures your refurbished changing rooms comply with all DfE requirements. If you’d like any help on this, do get in touch.
The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 outline the legal requirements for workplace facilities, including changing rooms. These regulations address factors like space allocation, ventilation, and hygiene. We design your changing rooms to meet all workplace safety and welfare regulations.
We offer a wide range of design options to suit your budget and space constraints. Invest in changing rooms that promote user comfort, safety, and well-being.
FAQs

Yes, modern designs focus on providing a balance of open supervision and individual privacy.

While specific layouts are required for full accessibility, we can optimise smaller footprints by using bespoke benching and clever locker placement. For public buildings, we can also advise on whether a formal Changing Places facility is required to meet the Equality Act standards.
