Working in Queensferry

As well as Queensferry itself (EH30), we survey in Broxburn, Dunfermline and Currie.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Queensferry: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are planning a wet room in Queensferry for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway. For a wet room in a Queensferry flat, the first step is the title deeds, because agreement from the other owners or the factor is often needed before any work starts.

Water across much of Edinburgh is soft. If that holds for your street in Queensferry, 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

Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall

Decisions to make first

Underfloor heating

Electric underfloor heating under the tiles dries the floor quickly after a shower; it is typically £700 to £1,500 for a bathroom.

Screen size

A screen of 1200 mm or more keeps spray off the rest of the room in most layouts. In a very small wet room, expect the whole floor to get wet.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, a wet room that alters the drainage, involves structural work to the floor or forms a new bathroom may need a building warrant; a straight refit usually does not. Water fittings must meet the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014.

More about wet rooms

Wet rooms in Queensferry: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Queensferry?

A wet room in Queensferry usually costs £5,800–£11,500 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover EH30 in Queensferry?

Yes. We cover all of Queensferry, including EH30, and nearby Broxburn, Dunfermline and Currie. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Queensferry?

Will a wet room in Queensferry need a building warrant?

Usually not for a straight refit. Building warrants are issued by the local council's building standards service, and forming a new bathroom, changing drainage or structural work can need one. We tell you at the survey and handle the application if one is needed.

What is tanking in a wet room?

Tanking is the waterproof layer under the tiles that stops water reaching the floor and walls. It is usually a liquid or sheet membrane, with sealing tape at every corner, board joint and pipe. Tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own, so the tanking is what actually keeps the water in.
