Working in Currie

We work right across Currie — EH11, EH13 and EH14 — and in neighbouring Balerno and Colinton.

Currie gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We quote new en-suites in Currie only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs. If the en-suite in your Currie home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size.

Water across much of Edinburgh is soft. If that holds for your street in Currie, 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 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
A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

More about en-suites

En-suites in Currie: questions

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

An en-suite in Currie usually costs £4,300–£8,600 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 Currie?

Will an en-suite in Currie 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 an en-suite take?

Allow 4–8 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 Currie.

Do I need building regulations approval for an en-suite?

A new en-suite usually does, because it involves new drainage, an extractor fan and new electrical circuits. A like-for-like refit of an existing en-suite normally does not, apart from any electrical work that is notifiable where you live. We tell you which parts apply at the survey.
