Working in Broxburn

We work right across Broxburn — EH52 — and in neighbouring Livingston and Queensferry.

Broxburn gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Broxburn loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Broxburn home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.

Supplies across most of the Lothians are soft. If that holds for your street in Broxburn, 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 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 your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
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

Where the shower goes

Under the ridge or in a dormer, where the full height is. A walk-in shower with a single panel is usually easier to fit to a roof line than a framed enclosure.

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 Broxburn: questions

What is the price of a loft bathroom in Broxburn?

A loft bathroom in Broxburn usually costs £6,200–£12,500 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Do you cover EH52 in Broxburn?

Yes. We cover all of Broxburn, including EH52, and nearby Livingston, Queensferry and Balerno. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Broxburn?

Will a loft bathroom in Broxburn 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 do you ventilate a loft bathroom?

A loft bathroom fan is usually ducted through the roof to a tile or slate vent, or out through a gable wall. The duct should be insulated where it crosses a cold space, so condensation does not run back into the fan. A roof window helps with daylight and airing but does not replace the fan.
