Walkthrough checklist
- Identify tight gaps around the WC, vanity and shower screen.
- Choose fittings and ledges that do not create unnecessary dirt traps.
- Keep access panels and service points reachable after joinery is installed.
Worked example

Check cleaning tool access at the planned fixture spacing and simplify concealed corners or provide a removable access detail.
How to test it
Walk through a normal clean and confirm tools can reach each junction.
