Complete bathroom projects in Lauder
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.
High exposure to easterly winds means oversizing radiators slightly is often the right call. For bathroom installations, that changes the survey, specification or working sequence before price is agreed.
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. This page is specifically for rural owners who need to plan a complete, project-managed bathroom rather than coordinate separate trades.

Before you book: local practical answers
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.
What should be checked before quoting bathroom installations at this Lauder property?+
Several large hotels and listed properties in town need bespoke design rather than domestic kit. We confirm that point on site, then match the bathroom installations specification to the actual building and access rather than assuming every TD2 address is alike.
Is this page aimed at rural owners?+
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.
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.
