EH33 · East Lothian · for landlords
A properly waterproofed wet room for Tranent
Tranent sits on the ridge above the A1 — a former mining town with dense High Street stone terraces, post-war council estates around Loch Park and Lindores Drive, and a heavy run of new-build family homes spreading out toward Windygoul and Wallyford. The mix means we run two very different jobs in EH33 in the same week: tight combi swaps and gas safety certificates in the older terraces, and unvented-cylinder annual service work plus underfloor-heating commissioning in the modern estates.
Edinburgh-commuter retrofits typically come paired with smart-controls upgrades (vSMART, Hive, Tado) and magnetic-filter additions on existing systems. For wet room installations, that changes the survey, specification or working sequence before price is agreed.
Wet room projects in Tranent 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.
Relevant work pattern
Local evidence behind the recommendation
- G3 unvented cylinder service and expansion-vessel re-charge on a Windygoul new-build, paired with an annual boiler service.
- Block-booked CP12 round across multiple EH33 letting properties for an agent, with same-day digital certificates and renewal reminders.
- Vaillant ecoTEC combi swap with new flue routing in a narrow Civic Square terrace, completed in a day with smart controls fitted.

Questions shaped by Tranent properties
Do you service the unvented cylinders in the new Windygoul estates?+
Yes — our engineers are G3-qualified and we cover the Megaflo, Telford and Joule cylinders fitted across the modern Tranent estates. Annual service keeps the manufacturer warranty live and catches expansion-vessel pressure drop before it becomes a discharge problem.
Can you fit a new combi in a narrow Tranent High Street terrace?+
Yes — tight kitchen and cupboard installs are routine in EH33. We survey access, plan condensate and flue routing before quoting, and pick a footprint-friendly Vaillant or Worcester model that actually fits the available space without compromising serviceability.
What should be checked before quoting wet room installations at this Tranent property?+
Edinburgh-commuter retrofits typically come paired with smart-controls upgrades (vSMART, Hive, Tado) and magnetic-filter additions on existing systems. We confirm that point on site, then match the wet room installations specification to the actual building and access rather than assuming every EH33 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.

Property and access context
What changes the job in Tranent
- Edinburgh-commuter retrofits typically come paired with smart-controls upgrades (vSMART, Hive, Tado) and magnetic-filter additions on existing systems.
- Older High Street and Civic Square terraces have narrow kitchen footprints — combi siting, condensate routing and flue access drive most of the survey conversation rather than boiler kW.
- Windygoul and the newer Persimmon and Cala estates run unvented Megaflo or Telford cylinders on first or second floor — annual G3 inspections and expansion-vessel pressure checks are core EH33 work for us.
- Strong landlord and letting market across the older terraces — block-booked CP12 rounds with same-day digital certificates and 30-day renewal reminders are a regular slot.
From first survey to signed-off work
STEP 1
Flood and function check
Drainage, seals, controls and clean-down are checked at handover. We also check: Edinburgh-commuter retrofits typically come paired with smart-controls upgrades (vSMART, Hive, Tado) and magnetic-filter additions on existing systems.
STEP 2
Measure and inspect
Structure, drainage, ventilation and movement space are assessed.
STEP 3
Detail the wet zone
Falls, former, tanking and finish junctions are specified.
STEP 4
Coordinated build
Strip-out, first fix, waterproofing and finishes follow one sequence.
Relevant safeguards, not generic badges
- Accessible details planned around the user's movement needs
- Structure and drainage checked before design sign-off
- Complete waterproofing system behind finishes

Tranent is not being treated as an interchangeable location page. The recommendation starts with edinburgh-commuter retrofits typically come paired with smart-controls upgrades (vsmart, hive, tado) and magnetic-filter additions on existing systems. It then combines wet room installations, the needs of landlords, access via the A1, and nearby coverage toward Macmerry and Elphinstone.
