A properly waterproofed wet room for Duns
Duns is the natural service town for Berwickshire — a working market town surrounded by big agricultural country. The mix of Victorian stone houses around the Square, post-war estates off Castle Street and a wide rural patch reaching toward Polwarth and Greenlaw makes for a healthy spread of gas, oil and LPG work.
Cold-snap exposure across the Merse — radiator sizing and frost-protection routing matter. For wet room installations, that changes the survey, specification or working sequence before price is agreed.
Wet room projects in Duns begin below the visible finish: joist direction, floor falls, drainage route, ventilation and waterproofing determine whether the room performs. We coordinate the plumbing, tanking, electrical zones and finishes as one programme. Accessible layouts can include level entry, support positions and easy-clean choices without making the room feel institutional. This page is specifically for rural owners who need to plan a level-access room with dependable drainage and waterproofing.

STEP 4
Coordinated build
Strip-out, first fix, waterproofing and finishes follow one sequence.
Questions shaped by Duns properties
Can you handle multi-zone systems in larger Duns properties?+
Yes — we design and zone larger heating systems properly, including zoned weather compensation and underfloor heating where it makes sense.
Do you cover the rural Berwickshire farms around Duns?+
Yes — Polwarth, Greenlaw, Gavinton, Allanton and the wider TD11 patch are part of our normal Duns round, with most farm and steading work booked in within the week.
What should be checked before quoting wet room installations at this Duns property?+
Cold-snap exposure across the Merse — radiator sizing and frost-protection routing matter. We confirm that point on site, then match the wet room installations specification to the actual building and access rather than assuming every TD11 address is alike.
Is this page aimed at rural owners?+
Yes. The recommendations prioritise rural owners who need to plan a level-access room with dependable drainage and waterproofing. If the building or occupancy differs, the survey is where we adjust the plan.
Does an accessible wet room need to look clinical?+
No. Support, seating and level access can be integrated into a warm residential design.
Can a wet room be fitted upstairs?+
Yes, when joists, deflection, former depth and waste fall are assessed before the layout is fixed.

- Cold-snap exposure across the Merse — radiator sizing and frost-protection routing matter.
- Most rural addresses around Duns are off the gas grid — oil and LPG dominate the work pattern.
- Berwickshire farmland means a steady stream of farmhouse and steading installs with their own quirks (long pipe runs, multiple zones).
- Town-centre Victorian properties often need careful flue siting against listed neighbours.
