Working in Colinton

As well as Colinton itself (EH11, EH13 and EH14), we survey in Currie, Balerno and Penicuik.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Colinton: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Colinton home has hard water, we talk through brassware and stone finishes that will still look good after a year of daily use. If you live in a listed building in Colinton, we flag any change that may need listed building consent, such as a new soil pipe through a wall.

Most of Edinburgh is supplied with soft water. 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

Large-format porcelain, natural stone or microcement over full tanking
Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A full snag check, sealing of stone where needed, and a handover of manuals and isolation points

Decisions to make first

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.

Freestanding bath material

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch. Stone resin holds heat and feels solid but is much heavier. Cast iron is the heaviest of all and nearly always needs a structural check.

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.

Do you cover EH11 in Colinton?

What makes a bathroom feel luxurious?

Space around the fittings, warmth underfoot, good light and fewer visible fixings make a bathroom feel luxurious. Concealed valves and cisterns, large tiles with tight grout lines, frameless glass and lighting on dimmers matter more than any single expensive piece.
