Level-access wet room installation in Kelso
Kelso is our home town and the base of every van we run. The mix of Georgian townhouses around The Square, modern estates off Inch Road and farms out toward Sprouston means we see almost every kind of heating system in one postcode — gas combis, oil boilers, LPG installs and a growing number of heat pump retrofits.
Hard water in parts of TD5 means scale management and filter housings are worth specifying on new installs. For wet room installations, that changes the survey, specification or working sequence before price is agreed.
Wet room projects in Kelso 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.
