Working in Inverurie

In Inverurie we cover AB51; we also cover Aberdeen, 14.3 miles away, and Peterhead.

Inverurie gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Inverurie cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly. We survey cloakrooms in Inverurie with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly.

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
  • Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
  • Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
  • A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows

Decisions to make first

WC style

A wall-hung WC on a frame gives the most floor space and looks neat. A back-to-wall pan in a short furniture unit is easier to fit against an uneven wall.

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.

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.

Cloakrooms & downstairs WCs in Inverurie: questions

How much does a cloakroom or downstairs WC cost in Inverurie?

A cloakroom or downstairs WC in Inverurie usually costs £1,750–£4,300 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?

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.

Will a cloakroom or downstairs WC 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 cloakroom or downstairs WC take?

Allow 2–4 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 have a macerator toilet in a downstairs cloakroom?

Yes, provided the house already has a WC on gravity drainage, for example in the main bathroom. A macerator pumps the waste through a small-bore pipe, so it can serve a cloakroom some distance from the soil stack. It needs a fused electrical supply, makes a noise while it runs and should only take toilet waste and paper.
