Working in Balerno

In Balerno we cover EH14, EH27 and EH28; we also cover Currie, 1.5 miles away, and Colinton.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Balerno: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Balerno home has hard water, we talk through brassware and stone finishes that will still look good after a year of daily use. If your Balerno home has a larger main bathroom, a freestanding bath with a separate walk-in shower is usually where the design starts.

Supplies across most of Edinburgh are soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting
A full snag check, sealing of stone where needed, and a handover of manuals and isolation points
Large-format porcelain, natural stone or microcement over full tanking

Decisions to make first

Lighting

Layer it: IP-rated ceiling lights for general use, a lit mirror at the basin and low-level LED in niches or plinths for night, each on its own switch or dimmer.

Shower system

A concealed thermostatic valve with a ceiling head and handset is the usual choice. A digital valve sets the temperature from a wall panel, and a steam enclosure needs its own generator and supply.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, structural work such as strengthening a floor, or altering the drainage, may need a building warrant. An unvented cylinder should be fitted by an installer qualified for unvented systems, and the electrics tested and certified to BS 7671.

Is the water hard in Balerno?

What does a steam shower need?

A steam shower is a fully sealed enclosure or room with a generator that fills it with steam. It needs its own electrical circuit, a sealed door, usually a sloped ceiling so condensation runs off rather than dripping, full tanking and a drain. It has to be planned into the room from the start, not added later.
