Questions about ensuite installation in Dundee 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 Dundee City?
Yes, across the whole of Dundee City, including Dundee.
Who licenses HMOs in Dundee City?
Dundee City council licenses HMOs in its area. Every HMO in Scotland needs a licence.
