Which towns do we cover in the Highlands and Islands?
Water across much of the Highlands and Islands 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. If your Inverness home has uneven walls, fillers and end panels are scribed to them on site rather than left with gaps.
What the job includes
- Supply of carcasses, doors, plinths, fillers and end panels in your chosen finish
- A concealed cistern or cistern frame, with an isolation valve you can reach through the flush plate or a panel
- A worktop cut to length, with basin and tap cut-outs and sealed edges
- Basin, tap and waste connected, and the WC pan fixed and joined to the soil pipe
- Fillers and end panels scribed to the walls, and the worktop sealed with silicone
- Tall units fixed to the wall, doors adjusted and soft-close hinges set
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.
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.
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.
Unit depth
Slimline units are shallower and suit narrow rooms; standard-depth units hold more and give a wider worktop over the cistern.
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.
