Working in Crieff

We work right across Crieff — PH7 — and in neighbouring Auchterarder and Perth.

Crieff gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Crieff home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. If your Crieff house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump.

Water across much of Perth and Kinross is soft. If that holds for your street in Crieff, 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

Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
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
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces

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.

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.

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 Crieff: questions

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

A loft bathroom in Crieff 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 Crieff?

Will a loft bathroom in Crieff 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 Crieff.

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.
