EH45 · Scottish Borders · for rural owners
Bathroom design and fitting for Peebles properties
Most enquiries here come from rural owners. Peebles attracts heating work that skews high-end — large detached properties along Edinburgh Road, restored Tweed-side cottages and a strong second-home market. Heat pumps are a regular conversation here, helped along by owners with the budget to do the job properly with radiator upgrades and underfloor zones.
We design, supply and install full bathrooms across Peebles — 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. A strong second-home contingent values pre-winter servicing slots booked well ahead.
Before any figure is agreed we confirm what the property actually needs rather than repeat a EH45 template.
Questions shaped by Peebles properties
Can you fit servicing in around Edinburgh-commuter schedules?+
Yes — we book in early-morning and end-of-day slots for EH45 commuters. Just tell us your preferred window when you book.
Are heat pumps a good fit for Peebles properties?+
Often yes — Peebles has the housing stock and outdoor space to make heat pumps work well. We design every system to heat the home reliably through Borders winters, not just to tick a grant box.
What should be checked before quoting bathroom installations at this Peebles property?+
Edinburgh-commuter clients often request weekend or evening attendance — we book these in advance. 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?+
It is written for rural owners who need to plan a complete, project-managed bathroom rather than coordinate separate trades. Different occupancy or building type is handled at survey stage rather than ignored.
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.
