Working in Fraserburgh
We work right across Fraserburgh — AB43 — and in neighbouring Peterhead and Inverurie.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Fraserburgh: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Fraserburgh water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads. For Fraserburgh homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve.
Most of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is supplied with soft water. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
Decisions to make first
Copper or plastic
Copper is rigid and suits pipes on show or near the boiler. Plastic is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.
Concealed or exposed valves
Concealed shower valves look neater but need an access route for servicing. Exposed bar valves are easier to reach and replace.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover new water fittings, with the same 6-litre flush limit and backflow rules. Altering drainage may need a building warrant, so check before moving a WC or adding a new connection to the stack.
