• Not Your Bog Standard Installation

Thanks to a Saniplus UP from Saniflo, a new garden retreat has been fitted with a fully functioning toilet – but the task required a little more than basic plumbing.

The garden building, which was supplied and built by Shack Cabin, sits slightly below the level of the main house, presenting a challenge for traditional waste drainage. The quiet Saniplus UP macerator system provided the solution, efficiently pumping waste to the main soil stack. Installed discreetly behind a demountable panel, the unit is hidden yet accessible for maintenance. This seamless integration means visitors to the space would never know it was there.

The solution was chosen by former DJ and TV presenter Sam Pinkham, owner of Shack Cabins.

Saniplus UP

The Saniplus UP, part of Saniflo’s renowned macerator range, is designed for use with a full bathroom suite. It features a powerful motor capable of pumping waste up to five metres vertically or 100 metres horizontally, making it ideal for projects where gravity drainage isn’t an option. Its compact design and near-silent operation make it a practical and discreet solution for challenging installations.

Sam Pinkham says: “The Saniplus UP was the perfect choice for this project. It’s incredibly easy to install and delivers reliable performance. My customer is over the moon with how it’s transformed their garden building into a versatile space with a fully functional bathroom. Without the Saniplus UP, this level of convenience wouldn’t have been possible.”

Homes & hobby presenter

Pinkham entertained audiences across the UK for years as a radio DJ and home & holiday programme presenter. Inspired by the buildings he had seen whilst working on TV – and seeing how garden buildings could add value to a property as either a work from home or accommodation option – he launched Shack Cabins, where he brings bespoke, high-quality garden spaces to life. 

The customer’s newly enhanced garden shack now serves as both an office and a relaxation area, complete with the modern convenience of a private WC. 

Saniflo’s innovative range of macerators and pumps is designed to make bathroom and kitchen installations possible anywhere in the home or garden, regardless of the existing plumbing setup.
