Working in Lossiemouth

We work right across Lossiemouth — IV31 — and in neighbouring Elgin and Buckie.

Lossiemouth gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Lossiemouth 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 Lossiemouth home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.

Supplies across most of Moray are soft. If that holds for your street in Lossiemouth, 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 shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage

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.

Bath or no bath

A bath under the slope makes good use of low space, but the floor has to carry it when it is full of water and someone is in it.

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 Lossiemouth: questions

How much should I budget for a loft bathroom in Lossiemouth?

A loft bathroom in Lossiemouth 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.

Is the home survey in Lossiemouth 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 IV31 in Lossiemouth?

Yes. We cover all of Lossiemouth, including IV31, and nearby Elgin, Buckie and Forres. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Lossiemouth?

Is a bath too heavy for a loft floor?

A standard acrylic bath is usually fine on a loft floor built for a conversion, but a filled bath with someone in it is heavy, and stone-resin or cast-iron baths are much heavier still. We check the joist size, span and direction at the survey, and a heavy bath may need a structural check and strengthening first.
