Which towns do we cover in the Highlands and Islands?
Most of the Highlands and Islands is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier. If your Inverness home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting.
What the job includes
- Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
- Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
- A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
- Fitting the suite, furniture, screen and accessories, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
- First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
- A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked
Decisions to make first
Same layout or new
Keeping the layout keeps labour in the £2,200 to £4,000 range; moving the WC, shower or basin adds pipework and days.
Making good
Decide whether you want the quote to cover making good and decorating, or to stop at the tiles so you can paint yourself.
Fit-only or supply and fit
Fit-only lets you choose and buy every product yourself; supply and fit puts sourcing, deliveries and returns on us, with one price for everything.
Delivery timing
Having everything delivered and checked before the start date avoids a half-finished room while a missing part is sent again.
Rules that apply in Scotland
When you supply the products, you are responsible for them being complete, undamaged and suitable, and a claim for a faulty item goes to the retailer or manufacturer you bought it from. We are responsible for the fitting, which under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 must be carried out with reasonable care and skill. Products must also meet the water fittings rules where you live, including a maximum 6-litre flush for new WCs and backflow protection, so we raise anything that looks non-compliant before fitting it.
In Scotland, the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover new taps, WCs and showers, whoever bought them. A like-for-like fit rarely needs a building warrant; a new layout that alters drainage may. Electrical work is tested and certified to BS 7671.
