Working in Annan
We cover every part of Annan, including DG12, and nearby Dumfries (15.1 miles) and Locharbriggs (15.2 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Annan: free survey, written quote, one team. If you live in a Annan flat, check your title deeds and any deed of conditions before planning a new en-suite, as agreement from the other owners or the factor is often needed for new drainage and vents. If your Annan home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue.
Most of Dumfries and Galloway is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Annan, 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
- A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
- 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
Decisions to make first
Shower size
A 900 mm square tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. In a long, narrow room, a 1200 by 800 mm walk-in tray with one glass panel feels far more generous.
Door type
An outward-opening door frees floor space inside. A sliding pocket door saves space on both sides but needs a stud wall long enough to take the cassette.
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.
