Working in Dunfermline

We work right across Dunfermline — KY12 — and in neighbouring Queensferry and Broxburn.

In a city the size of Dunfermline, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If the en-suite in your Dunfermline home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size. If you live in a Dunfermline 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.

Most of Fife is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Dunfermline, 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 door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door
Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls

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.

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.

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 Dunfermline: questions

How much does an en-suite cost in Dunfermline?

An en-suite in Dunfermline usually costs £4,300–£8,600 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Do you cover KY12 in Dunfermline?

Yes. We cover all of Dunfermline, including KY12, and nearby Queensferry, Broxburn and Grangemouth. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Dunfermline?

Will an en-suite in Dunfermline 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.
