Working in Hawick

As well as Hawick itself (TD9), we survey in Galashiels, Kelso and Peebles.

Hawick gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. A renovation survey in Hawick looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper. Whether your Hawick bathroom needs a refresh or a full strip back to brick, the written quote shows both where both are realistic.

Supplies across most of the Scottish Borders 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

Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover

Decisions to make first

Pipe material

Copper suits exposed runs and the area near the boiler. Plastic pipe is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.

Plaster or boards

Plaster suits dry walls that will be painted. Cement-based tile backer boards are the better base behind showers and under heavy tiles.

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.

More about bathroom renovation

Bathroom renovation in Hawick: questions

What is the price of a bathroom renovation in Hawick?

A bathroom renovation in Hawick usually costs £7,200–£14,500 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Do you cover TD9 in Hawick?

Yes. We cover all of Hawick, including TD9, and nearby Galashiels, Kelso and Peebles. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Hawick?

Will a bathroom renovation in Hawick 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.

What is the difference between a bathroom refit and a renovation?

A refit replaces the visible parts, the suite, tiles and floor, and keeps the pipework, wiring and walls behind them. A renovation strips the room to its structure and replaces those hidden services too, often with a new layout. It costs more and takes longer, but it deals with problems a refit would only cover up.
