Working in Perth

We work right across Perth — PH1 and PH2 — and in neighbouring Auchterarder and Blairgowrie and Rattray.

In a city the size of Perth, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. We plan loft bathrooms in Perth around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage. If your Perth home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options.

Most of Perth and Kinross is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Perth, 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
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 the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Perth: questions

How much does a loft bathroom cost in Perth?

A loft bathroom in Perth 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.

Do you cover PH1 and PH2 in Perth?

Yes. We cover all of Perth, including PH1 and PH2, and nearby Auchterarder, Blairgowrie and Rattray and Crieff. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Perth?

Will a loft bathroom in Perth 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.
