Working in Musselburgh
We cover every part of Musselburgh, including EH21, and nearby Bonnyrigg (5.2 miles) and Colinton (8.3 miles).
Musselburgh gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Musselburgh 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. We plan loft bathrooms in Musselburgh around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage.
Water across much of the Lothians is soft. If that holds for your street in Musselburgh, 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 drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
- 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
Decisions to make first
Getting the water pressure
A pumped shower suits a gravity system with a cold tank; an electric shower heats cold mains water at the point of use; a combi or unvented cylinder gives mains pressure throughout.
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.
