Covering Kelso

Because the Scottish Borders covers a wide area, we confirm availability after the first call and include any travel costs in the written quote rather than adding them later.
Homes in the Scottish Borders
In Scotland many families extend bungalows and semis, while tenement flats bring shared ownership of roofs and walls that needs agreeing early.
What do you get with bathroom installation?
Most bathroom problems come from poor waterproofing and ventilation, so we tank wet areas, fit extraction that actually clears steam, and check water pressure before choosing showers. All electrics in bathrooms are done to the special-location rules.
- Plumbing and waste alterations
- Waterproofing (tanking) of wet areas
- Extractor fan, lighting and heated towel rail

How is bathroom installation approved in Kelso?
Scottish projects follow a different process from England: the council issues a building warrant before work starts and accepts a completion certificate at the end, alongside any planning permission needed. We prepare both applications.
Bathroom refits do not usually need planning permission; new bathrooms or drainage changes may need a building warrant.
What should Kelso homeowners check first?
- Wet rooms need a fall to the drain and full waterproofing.
- Moving a toilet depends on the soil pipe route.
What are the steps?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
