Which towns do we cover in Fife?
Water across much of Fife is soft. 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. For Dunfermline homeowners keeping their existing tiles, a furniture run can often go in over one to three days.
What the job includes
- Tall units fixed to the wall, doors adjusted and soft-close hinges set
- Basin, tap and waste connected, and the WC pan fixed and joined to the soil pipe
- Measuring every wall for length, height and how far it is out of square
- A concealed cistern or cistern frame, with an isolation valve you can reach through the flush plate or a panel
- Fillers and end panels scribed to the walls, and the worktop sealed with silicone
- A worktop cut to length, with basin and tap cut-outs and sealed edges
Decisions to make first
Door style
Slab doors are the easiest to wipe down. Shaker doors look traditional but have grooves that collect dust. Handleless push-to-open doors suit a plain, modern room.
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.
Tall storage
A tall unit at the end of the run takes towels and cleaning products off the floor. Check it clears the door, window and towel rail.
Carcass board
Moisture-resistant board with sealed edges is the minimum. Some ranges use a PVC-based or similar carcass that copes better with splashes and leaks.
Rules that apply in Scotland
Fitted furniture itself is not controlled by building regulations, but what goes into it is. A new WC must meet the water fittings rules, with a maximum 6-litre flush and backflow protection. Illuminated mirrors, cabinet lights and shaver points must suit the bathroom zones under BS 7671, on circuits with 30 mA RCD protection, and apart from shaver supply units, sockets must be at least 3 m from the edge of zone 1.
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.
