Working in Queensferry

We work right across Queensferry — EH30 — and in neighbouring Broxburn and Dunfermline.

Queensferry gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Queensferry house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump. If your Queensferry loft shower is weak or the waste drains slowly, the fix is often in the pump or the pipe fall rather than the shower itself.

Water across much of Edinburgh is soft. If that holds for your street in Queensferry, 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

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
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
A drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

More about loft bathrooms

Loft bathrooms in Queensferry: questions

What is the price of a loft bathroom in Queensferry?

A loft bathroom in Queensferry 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. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover EH30 in Queensferry?

Yes. We cover all of Queensferry, including EH30, and nearby Broxburn, Dunfermline and Currie. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Queensferry?

Will a loft bathroom in Queensferry 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.

Do I need a pump for a loft shower?

You need a pump if your hot water comes from a cylinder fed by a cold tank, because the tank usually sits at or below the height of a loft shower and gives almost no pressure. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure, so no pump is needed, though the flow can drop when other taps run. Shower pumps must only be used on gravity systems, never connected to the mains.
