Working in Fraserburgh

In Fraserburgh we cover AB43; we also cover Peterhead, 15.3 miles away, and Inverurie.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Fraserburgh: free survey, written quote, one team. For Fraserburgh homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. Landlords in Fraserburgh can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation.

Supplies across most of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire are soft. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off

Decisions to make first

Salvage

If you want to keep a cast-iron bath, a radiator or a piece of furniture, say so before we start, so it comes out whole rather than in pieces.

Keep or lose the plaster

Tiles often come off leaving plaster that can be tiled again. If the plaster comes away with them, the wall is boarded or re-plastered.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, removal work does not need a building warrant, but structural work, altering drainage or forming a new bathroom afterwards may. Where a warrant is needed, it has to be granted before that work starts, so plan the strip-out around it.

What happens to the water and toilet during a strip-out?

The bathroom supplies are isolated and capped so the rest of the house keeps its water, and the soil pipe is sealed to stop smells. If there are no isolation valves, the water may be off to the whole house for a short time. If the bathroom has your only WC, raise it at the survey so the toilet comes out as late as possible.
