Which towns do we cover in the Lothians?
Supplies across most of the Lothians are soft. 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. We survey in Livingston before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen.
What the job includes
- First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
- Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us
- A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
- Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
- A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked
- Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
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.
Delivery timing
Having everything delivered and checked before the start date avoids a half-finished room while a missing part is sent again.
Tiling
Some customers tile themselves or use a separate tiler. That can work, but the order of trades and who tanks the shower area must be agreed first.
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.
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.
