Working in Kelso

As well as Kelso itself (TD5), we survey in Galashiels, Hawick and Peebles.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Kelso: free survey, written quote, one team. For homes in Kelso where the bathroom is the only one, we plan the work so the toilet is out of action for as short a time as possible. Fitted furniture suits the many Kelso bathrooms that have to hold towels, toiletries and cleaning things for a whole household.

Most of the Scottish Borders is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories
Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover

Decisions to make first

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung units show more floor and look lighter; floor-standing units give more storage and suit uneven walls.

Furniture finish

Matt or gloss lacquer, wood-effect, painted shaker or handleless. Darker finishes hide marks; lighter ones make a small room feel bigger.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, building standards apply instead of Part P. A straight refit rarely needs a building warrant, but forming a new bathroom, altering drainage or structural work may. Electrical work should still be tested and certified to BS 7671.

Is the water hard in Kelso?

Is fitted bathroom furniture waterproof?

Good fitted furniture uses moisture-resistant boards, sealed edges and a worktop sealed to the wall. It is designed for a bathroom, but standing water should still be wiped up. Ask for the carcass material and edge banding on the quote.
