Working in Inverurie

We work right across Inverurie — AB51 — and in neighbouring Aberdeen and Peterhead.

Inverurie gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. A renovation survey in Inverurie looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper. If your Inverurie home is older and the bathroom still has original pipework or plaster behind the tiles, the survey shows whether a renovation or a refit makes more sense.

Most of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire 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.

What the job includes

Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier

Decisions to make first

Heating

Moving the radiator, adding a heated towel rail or laying underfloor heating is simpler while the room is stripped.

Combining rooms

Taking out the wall between a bathroom and a separate WC gives one larger room, but it is structural work and may need building control.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, structural work, altering drainage or forming a new bathroom may need a building warrant, which must be granted before that work starts. A straight refit rarely needs one. Electrical work is tested and certified to BS 7671.

Bathroom renovation in Inverurie: questions

How much should I budget for a bathroom renovation in Inverurie?

A bathroom renovation in Inverurie usually costs £7,200–£14,500 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the water hard in Inverurie?

Will a bathroom renovation in Inverurie need a building warrant?

Usually not for a straight refit. Building warrants are issued by the local council's building standards service, and forming a new bathroom, changing drainage or structural work can need one. We tell you at the survey and handle the application if one is needed.

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

Allow 8–15 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Inverurie.

Can I live in the house during a bathroom renovation?

Yes, most people do. Expect dust, noise and the water to be off for short spells, and plan for no bath or shower in that room for two to three weeks. If it is your only toilet, talk to us at the survey about keeping a WC working for as much of the job as possible.
