Working in Stornoway

We cover all of Stornoway, including HS1. Because Stornoway is further afield, we arrange survey visits in batches; tell us your timescale and we will confirm a date before you commit to anything.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Stornoway: free survey, written quote, one team. Where a Stornoway shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter. If you are converting a bathroom in Stornoway into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side.

Most of the Highlands and Islands is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Stornoway, 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 basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling

Decisions to make first

Drain

A centre waste in a tray is the norm. A linear drain along one wall lets a tiled floor fall one way, so large tiles can run through.

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 Stornoway really free?

Do you cover HS1 in Stornoway?

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.
