Questions about ensuite installation in Aberdeen City
Can an ensuite go anywhere?
It needs a route for waste water. Gravity drainage is best; where that is not possible, a macerator or pump can work. We check at the survey.
Do ensuites need building control?
New drainage and extraction usually fall under the building regulations, so a building notice or competent-person self-certification is normally needed.
Do you carry out ensuite installation across Aberdeen City?
Yes, across the whole of Aberdeen City, including Aberdeen.
Who licenses HMOs in Aberdeen City?
