Working in Kirkcaldy

As well as Kirkcaldy itself (KY1 and KY2), we survey in Glenrothes, Dunfermline and Queensferry.

In Kirkcaldy, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your second bathroom in Kirkcaldy is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall. Where a Kirkcaldy shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter.

Water across much of Fife is soft. If that holds for your street in Kirkcaldy, 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

An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling

Decisions to make first

Glass

8 mm toughened glass is the usual standard for a walk-in panel. An easy-clean coating helps a great deal in hard-water areas.

Storage

With no bath, there is often space for a full-width vanity unit or a tall cupboard for towels.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, building standards apply instead of Part P. A refit in the same room rarely needs a building warrant, but altering the drainage may. Water fittings must meet the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014.

Is the home survey in Kirkcaldy really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover KY1 and KY2 in Kirkcaldy?

What size shower tray do I need?

A 900 by 900 mm tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. For a walk-in with one glass panel and no door, 1200 by 800 mm is a practical starting point, and 1400 mm or longer keeps the spray in better. The room shape, door swing and waste position decide the final size.
