Hawick accessible wet rooms planned below the finish
Hawick is one of the larger Borders towns, with a mix of dense Victorian terraces around the town centre, post-war housing on the outer ring and rural properties up the Slitrig and Teviot. We see a wide spread of jobs here — from combi swaps and landlord work in the centre to oil servicing on outlying farms and cottages.
Dense terracing around High Street and Buccleuch Street means tight gas runs and careful flue siting. For wet room installations, that changes the survey, specification or working sequence before price is agreed.
Wet room projects in Hawick 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 landlords who need to plan a level-access room with dependable drainage and waterproofing.

Property and access context
Read the property before choosing the system
- Dense terracing around High Street and Buccleuch Street means tight gas runs and careful flue siting.
- Older Victorian housing often has solid walls — we factor this into heat-pump heat-loss surveys honestly.
- Many outlying properties up the Slitrig valley remain off-grid and rely on oil or LPG.
- Plenty of rental stock means landlord gas safety certificates feature heavily in our TD9 round.
Before you book: local practical answers
Are heat pumps realistic in older Hawick terraces?+
Sometimes, but solid-wall Victorian terraces need a careful heat-loss survey first. In a lot of cases we'll recommend a high-efficiency gas boiler as the better short-term fit, with insulation upgrades planned alongside.
Do you cover Denholm, Bonchester Bridge and Newcastleton?+
Yes — these are all part of our regular TD9 round, including off-grid oil servicing and LPG work.
What should be checked before quoting wet room installations at this Hawick property?+
Dense terracing around High Street and Buccleuch Street means tight gas runs and careful flue siting. We confirm that point on site, then match the wet room installations specification to the actual building and access rather than assuming every TD9 address is alike.
Is this page aimed at landlords?+
Yes. The recommendations prioritise landlords 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.
Can a wet room be fitted upstairs?+
Yes, when joists, deflection, former depth and waste fall are assessed before the layout is fixed.
How is leakage prevented?+
A continuous tanking system, sealed penetrations and tested drainage protect the structure behind the finish.
