Planning and building rules in the Lothians

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 can affect bathroom installation?

Low water pressure limits the choice of shower; a pump or unvented cylinder may be needed.
Large-format tiles need flat walls, which may mean re-boarding.

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.
We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
