Working in Stranraer

We cover every part of Stranraer, including DG9, and nearby Dumfries (57.3 miles) and Locharbriggs (58.8 miles).

Stranraer gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Stranraer home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. If your Stranraer home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options.

Water across much of Dumfries and Galloway is soft. If that holds for your street in Stranraer, 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

A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
A drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level

Decisions to make first

Eaves storage

Low cupboards built into the slope behind the WC or basin take clutter out of the room and hide the pipework.

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.

Is the home survey in Stranraer really free?

Do you cover DG9 in Stranraer?

Yes. We cover all of Stranraer, including DG9, and nearby Dumfries, Locharbriggs and Annan. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

How much headroom do you need for a loft shower?
