Working in Arbroath

In Arbroath we cover DD11; we also cover Carnoustie, 6.1 miles away, and Forfar.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Arbroath: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Arbroath home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Arbroath home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.

Water across much of Dundee and Angus is soft. If that holds for your street in Arbroath, 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

Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit

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.

Gravity or pumped waste

Gravity is silent and maintenance-free. A pumped waste or macerator lets fittings sit away from the stack, provided the house has a WC on gravity drainage elsewhere.

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 Arbroath 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 DD11 in Arbroath?

Yes. We cover all of Arbroath, including DD11, and nearby Carnoustie, Forfar and Dundee. 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.
