Working in Fraserburgh
We cover every part of Fraserburgh, including AB43, and nearby Peterhead (15.3 miles) and Inverurie (30.9 miles).
Fraserburgh gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Where your Fraserburgh home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. If the only toilet in your Fraserburgh home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips.
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
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
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.
Finishes
A small room can carry a bolder tile or wallpaper. A feature wall behind the WC costs far less here than in a full bathroom because there is so little of it.
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.
