From 1 January 2024, the Part M Amendment Regulations 2022 require the provision of Changing Places Toilets in certain buildings, with clear obligations under M4 and Technical Guidance Document M 2022. With regulations now in force, early understanding is essential to ensure your projects meet current accessibility standards. Benefitting from our extensive knowledge in Changing Places equipment coupled with our experience in managing Changing Places Toilet installations, we are uniquely positioned to guide and assist our clients every step of the way.

The design and installation of a Changing Places Toilet should meet the minimum requirements of the Building Regulations. Careful consideration and attention to detail in relation to the design, equipment and finishes specified in a Changing Places Toilet is required. In particular, the size of the equipment provided in a Changing Places Toilet can impact on the clear circulation space and subsequently the overall size of the room.
