Working in Kelso

As well as Kelso itself (TD5), we survey in Galashiels, Hawick and Peebles.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Kelso: free survey, written quote, one team. We plan luxury bathrooms in Kelso with drawings and a full product schedule, and the price is fixed in writing once the design is agreed. If you live in a listed building in Kelso, we flag any change that may need listed building consent, such as a new soil pipe through a wall.

Water across much of the Scottish Borders is 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

A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting
Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan
Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
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.

Wall and floor finish

Large-format porcelain gives a stone look with little upkeep. Natural stone and microcement are beautiful but need sealing and care, especially in hard-water areas.

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 Kelso?

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.
