Working in Fraserburgh

We work right across Fraserburgh — AB43 — and in neighbouring Peterhead and Inverurie.

Fraserburgh gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the en-suite in your Fraserburgh home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size. If your Fraserburgh home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue.

Water across much of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is soft. If that holds for your street in Fraserburgh, 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

A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
A door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door

Decisions to make first

Exposed or concealed valve

An exposed bar valve is quicker to fit and easy to service. A concealed valve looks cleaner but sits inside the wall, so plan how it will be reached for repairs.

Noise

Acoustic insulation in the stud walls and a quiet fan make a real difference when one of you showers early while the other is still asleep.

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.

Is the water hard in Fraserburgh?

What extractor fan does an en-suite need?

In England, a new en-suite needs extract ventilation of at least 15 litres per second if the fan runs intermittently, or 8 litres per second if it runs continuously. Duct it to outside, keep the duct run short, and choose a quiet fan with an overrun timer, because it sits next to a bedroom.
