Working in Kirkcaldy
As well as Kirkcaldy itself (KY1 and KY2), we survey in Glenrothes, Dunfermline and Queensferry.
In Kirkcaldy, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you live in a Kirkcaldy 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. We quote new en-suites in Kirkcaldy only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs.
Water across much of Fife is soft. If that holds for your street in Kirkcaldy, 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
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
- IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
- Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
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.
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.
