Working in Oban

We cover all of Oban, including PA34, and nearby Dunoon and Helensburgh. Because Oban is further afield, we arrange survey visits in batches; tell us your timescale and we will confirm a date before you commit to anything.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Oban: free survey, written quote, one team. For Oban homeowners keeping their existing tiles, a furniture run can often go in over one to three days. If your Oban bathroom has pipes running along the walls, a fitted run can box them in neatly while adding storage.

Most of Argyll and Bute is supplied with soft water. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Tall units fixed to the wall, doors adjusted and soft-close hinges set
Fillers and end panels scribed to the walls, and the worktop sealed with silicone
Measuring every wall for length, height and how far it is out of square
Supply of carcasses, doors, plinths, fillers and end panels in your chosen finish

Decisions to make first

Lighting in the run

Plinth lights and an illuminated mirror cabinet must be planned at first fix, because the cables run inside the furniture and need RCD protection.

Cistern type

A back-to-wall pan can use a cistern that sits inside the WC unit, which is simple to service. A wall-hung WC needs a load-bearing frame built in behind the run.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, fitting furniture in an existing bathroom does not need a building warrant. New WCs and taps must meet the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014, and any wiring for lit units is tested and certified to BS 7671.

Fitted bathroom furniture in Oban: questions

How much does fitted bathroom furniture cost in Oban?

Fitted bathroom furniture in Oban usually costs £1,450–£5,800 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.

Is the water hard in Oban?

Will fitted bathroom furniture in Oban 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 long does fitted bathroom furniture take?

Allow 1–3 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Oban.

What is the difference between fitted and freestanding bathroom furniture?

Fitted furniture is built in as one continuous run, with a shared worktop and fillers cut to the walls. Freestanding furniture is a set of separate units that stand or hang on their own. Fitted gives more storage and hides pipework; freestanding is quicker to install and easier to change. Our guide to fitted vs freestanding furniture compares them.
