There are several mistakes in you sentence. It would be better to say "I just wanted to check if you are inside the toilet or not, because the windows technician wants to insert a mosquito net" (or " insert mosquito netting"). "install" would probably be a better choice than "insert." In American usage "inside the toilet" would mean that the person was actually inside the white ceramic fixture and not the room. Bathroom, rest room, ladies room, or washroom would be used |

Hi, This is my openion,
It is an office toilet, therefore which is suitable to say "I have just knocked to check whether anybody inside the toilet." |

Hi Erik,
Funnily enough 'nside the toilet' means exactly what you say it means, in any form of English.
