Working in Aberdeen
As well as Aberdeen itself (AB10, AB11, AB12 and 5 more postcode districts), we survey in Inverurie, Peterhead and Fraserburgh.
In a city the size of Aberdeen, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. We survey cloakrooms in Aberdeen with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Aberdeen, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days.
Water across much of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is soft. 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
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Decisions to make first
Macerator or gravity
Gravity drainage is silent and needs no maintenance. A macerator lets a WC go where a pipe could not otherwise fall, provided another WC in the house is on gravity drainage.
Basin
A corner basin fits the tightest rooms. A slim vanity basin with a cupboard underneath gives somewhere to keep spare toilet rolls and soap, and hides the trap.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, forming a new WC that alters drainage may need a building warrant, while refitting an existing cloakroom normally does not. Water fittings are covered by the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014, and electrics should be tested and certified to BS 7671.
