Working in Currie

We cover every part of Currie, including EH11, EH13 and EH14, and nearby Balerno (1.5 miles) and Colinton (2.2 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Currie: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Currie loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have. We plan loft bathrooms in Currie around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage.

Supplies across most of Edinburgh are soft. If that holds for your street in Currie, 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 drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
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 check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level

Decisions to make first

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.

Eaves storage

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

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 Currie: questions

What is the price of a loft bathroom in Currie?

A loft bathroom in Currie usually costs £6,200–£12,500 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the water hard in Currie?

Will a loft bathroom in Currie need a building warrant?

Usually not for a straight refit. Building warrants are issued by the local council's building standards service, and forming a new bathroom, changing drainage or structural work can need one. We tell you at the survey and handle the application if one is needed.

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 Currie.

Can you put a toilet in a loft?

Yes, if the waste can fall to the soil stack or a macerator can be used. Gravity drainage is the first choice; a macerator is only allowed where the home already has a WC on gravity drainage, which in most houses means the main bathroom.
