Working in Hawick

In Hawick we cover TD9; we also cover Galashiels, 13.3 miles away, and Kelso.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Hawick: free survey, written quote, one team. We quote new en-suites in Hawick only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs. If the en-suite in your Hawick home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size.

Most of the Scottish Borders is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Hawick, 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
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

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.

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.

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 Hawick: questions

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

An en-suite in Hawick usually costs £4,300–£8,600 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Do you cover TD9 in Hawick?

Yes. We cover all of Hawick, including TD9, and nearby Galashiels, Kelso and Peebles. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Hawick?

Will an en-suite in Hawick 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.
