Complete bathroom projects in Gifford
Bathroom Installation in Gifford is judged by the building, not the postcode. Many properties are off the gas grid and rely on oil or LPG.
Gifford brings us proper rural East Lothian work — off-grid oil and LPG, heat-pump design on large detached homes and pre-winter servicing for second-home owners across EH41.
We design, supply and install full bathrooms across Gifford — wet rooms, en-suites, walk-in showers, freestanding baths and full family bathroom refits. One project-managed team handles strip-out, plumbing, electrics, plastering and tiling, so you only ever deal with us. No three different trades calling at different times, no gaps in the schedule, no finger-pointing if something doesn't line up. Access is usually via the A697.

Before you book: local practical answers
Do you cover off-grid Gifford properties?+
Yes — oil and LPG work is a regular part of our EH41 Gifford round, and we carry common spares for Grant, Worcester Bosch and Warmflow units on the van.
Are heat pumps a sensible fit for Gifford homes?+
Often yes — Gifford properties tend to have the size and outdoor space to make heat pumps work. We design for genuine winter performance, not just to qualify for the Home Energy Scotland grant.
Does the property itself change the bathroom installations specification here?+
Larger detached homes suit heat pumps when paired with proper radiator upgrades and underfloor zones. Until that is checked, any figure is a guess, so the survey comes before the price.
Does this apply to rural owners as well as everyone else here?+
Yes. The recommendations prioritise rural owners who need to plan a complete, project-managed bathroom rather than coordinate separate trades. If the building or occupancy differs, the survey is where we adjust the plan.
Will I be without a bathroom the whole time?+
Usually yes if it's the only one — but we plan around it, leave a working WC overnight where possible, and keep the disruption window as tight as we can.
How long does a full bathroom take?+
A typical full refit takes 7–10 working days from strip-out to finish. Wet rooms and en-suites may take a little longer depending on tile choice, drainage runs and any structural changes.
