Working in Peterhead

We work right across Peterhead — AB42 — and in neighbouring Fraserburgh and Inverurie.

Peterhead gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For listed and period properties in Peterhead, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind. In Peterhead flats, the title deeds and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent.

Supplies across most of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire 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.

What the job includes

New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns

Decisions to make first

Shower floor

With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.

How far back to strip

Back to brick gives a clean start. Keeping sound plaster on some walls saves time and money, and the survey shows which walls can stay.

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.

Do I need building regulations approval for a bathroom renovation?
