A properly waterproofed wet room for Peebles
A strong second-home contingent values pre-winter servicing slots booked well ahead. That is the first thing we look at when wet room installations is quoted here.
Wet room projects in Peebles 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.
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. Written for rural owners in Peebles.

Peebles questions worth answering first
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.
Why can two Peebles quotes for wet room installations differ so much?+
The building decides it. A strong second-home contingent values pre-winter servicing slots booked well ahead. That is recorded first, then the wet room installations scope is written around it.
Is this page aimed at rural owners?+
It is written for rural owners who need to plan a level-access room with dependable drainage and waterproofing. Different occupancy or building type is handled at survey stage rather than ignored.
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.
