Working in Peterhead

We work right across Peterhead — AB42 — and in neighbouring Fraserburgh and Inverurie.

Peterhead gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Peterhead house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump. We plan loft bathrooms in Peterhead around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage.

Most of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Peterhead, 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

An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit

Decisions to make first

Getting the water pressure

A pumped shower suits a gravity system with a cold tank; an electric shower heats cold mains water at the point of use; a combi or unvented cylinder gives mains pressure throughout.

Roof window

A roof window over the bath or shower brings daylight and fresh air, but plan the blind for privacy and expect condensation on cold glass.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, forming a new bathroom in the loft or altering the drainage may need a building warrant. The Technical Handbook uses 15 litres per second extract for a bathroom, and water fittings are covered by the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014.

More about loft bathrooms

Loft bathrooms in Peterhead: questions

What is the price of a loft bathroom in Peterhead?

A loft bathroom in Peterhead usually costs £6,200–£12,500 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose.

How long does a loft bathroom take?

Allow 6–12 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 Peterhead.

Is the home survey in Peterhead really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover AB42 in Peterhead?

Yes. We cover all of Peterhead, including AB42, and nearby Fraserburgh, Inverurie and Aberdeen. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

How much headroom do you need for a loft shower?

Plan for around 2 m of clear height over the whole shower area, and enough standing height in front of the basin and WC. A bath can sit lower under the slope as long as you can stand up where you get in and out. We mark the usable height at each position on the survey drawing.
