Doc M

Doc M isn't just another part of the Building Regulations.  It's about making buildings more accessible to everyone and about helping people live their lives more easily.

With washrooms, showers and toilets, that usually means 'functional'.  But at Armitage Shanks, we take a different approach.  We believe everyone should be treated equally so we've created a wide variety of Doc M packs with the practicality you need to comply with the regulations, the style to co-ordinate with any of our bathroom ranges and the unrivalled quality, service and heritage.

You'll even find luxury options suited to the most prestigious projects.
