Working in Queensferry

We cover every part of Queensferry, including EH30, and nearby Broxburn (4.8 miles) and Dunfermline (6 miles).

Queensferry gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Queensferry en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit. If you live in a Queensferry 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.

Supplies across most of Edinburgh are soft. If that holds for your street in Queensferry, 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 pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Queensferry: questions

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

An en-suite in Queensferry 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.

Do you cover EH30 in Queensferry?

Yes. We cover all of Queensferry, including EH30, and nearby Broxburn, Dunfermline and Currie. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Queensferry?

Will an en-suite in Queensferry 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.
