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 quote new en-suites in Aberdeen only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs. If your Aberdeen home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue.

Supplies across most of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire are soft. If that holds for your street in Aberdeen, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

Decisions to make first

Refit or new en-suite

A refit keeps the existing drainage and walls. A new en-suite costs more because the walls, waste route, fan duct and electrics all start from nothing.

Night lighting

A mirror light or low-level LED strip on its own switch lets you use the en-suite at night without the full glare of the ceiling lights.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, forming a new en-suite may need a building warrant because it creates a new bathroom and alters drainage; refitting an existing one rarely does. The Technical Handbook uses the same 15 litres per second extract rate for a bathroom, and the electrics should be tested and certified to BS 7671.

En-suites in Aberdeen: questions

How much should I budget for an en-suite in Aberdeen?

An en-suite in Aberdeen usually costs £4,300–£8,600 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Do you cover AB10 in Aberdeen?

Yes. We cover all of Aberdeen, including AB10, AB11, AB12, AB15 and 4 more postcode districts, and nearby Inverurie, Peterhead and Fraserburgh. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Aberdeen?

Will an en-suite in Aberdeen 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 much space do you need for an en-suite?

As a rough guide, about 2.5 m² is the practical minimum for a shower, basin and WC, for example a space of around 1.2 m by 2.1 m. The exact layout depends on where the door, window and soil stack are, so we test it against your measurements rather than a rule of thumb.
