Working in Nairn

In Nairn we cover IV12; we also cover Forres, 9.8 miles away, and Inverness.

Nairn gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For an en-suite in Nairn, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack. If your Nairn en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit.

Supplies across most of the Highlands and Islands are soft. If that holds for your street in Nairn, 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 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
An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls

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.

Noise

Acoustic insulation in the stud walls and a quiet fan make a real difference when one of you showers early while the other is still asleep.

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.

Is the water hard in Nairn?

What extractor fan does an en-suite need?

In England, a new en-suite needs extract ventilation of at least 15 litres per second if the fan runs intermittently, or 8 litres per second if it runs continuously. Duct it to outside, keep the duct run short, and choose a quiet fan with an overrun timer, because it sits next to a bedroom.
