Lauder is a wide-street market town high on the Lauderdale plateau, with notable exposure to wind and cold-snap weather. That changes the conversation — radiator sizing, frost protection and proper heat-loss surveys really do matter here. The mix of Georgian high-street properties and newer estates off Burnside makes for varied work.
We design, supply and install full bathrooms across Lauder — 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.
Bathroom layouts in Lauder tend to fall into a few clear patterns — narrow Victorian boxrooms, mid-century three-pieces with airing cupboards, and roomier modern en-suites. We've worked through all of them across TD2, so we know which walls are typically lath-and-plaster, where the soil stack is likely to run, and how to plan a wet room without surprises mid-project.
How do you allow for Lauder's exposure when sizing radiators?+
We add a margin to the standard heat-loss calc for Lauderdale exposure, and recommend higher-output radiators in north-facing rooms. It costs a little more up front but stops cold spots in January.
Do you cover Oxton and Westruther?+
Yes — both are part of our regular TD2 round, including off-grid oil and LPG servicing.
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.
Do you supply the bathroom or do I buy it?+
Either works — we can supply through trade accounts at a discount, or fit a bathroom you've sourced yourself. We're transparent on both routes inside the written quote.
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.
Frost protection, oil servicing and properly sized installs across TD2.
Lauder's exposure makes proper heat-loss design genuinely important — TD2 is a 35-minute run from Kelso and one of the rounds where good engineering pays back fastest.
