Fitting a new bathroom or kitchen in an Edinburgh flat often means working around cornicing, original floors and listed status. In the tenements of Marchmont and Leith, it means connecting to shared stacks and being considerate of neighbours. In the suburbs, it's more straightforward – but every home has its quirks.

Listed flats and tenement kitchens
In listed New Town flats, new pipe routes need to avoid damaging historic fabric, and external changes may need consent. Plumbers often reuse existing routes where possible and keep new pipework discreet.
Tenement kitchens are often small, so plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine needs careful planning. Edinburgh's soft water means limescale is rarely a concern for new fittings.
In the suburbs – Corstorphine, Liberton, Davidson's Mains – bungalows are common, and many owners convert a bathroom into an accessible wet room or add an en suite in a dormer conversion. These homes are simpler to plumb, but the drainage route for a level-access shower still needs checking first.

Before the plumber arrives
- Have the new toilet, basin, sink or taps on site, unpacked and checked against the parts list.
- Find your stopcock so the water can be turned off quickly if needed.
- Clear the cupboard under the sink or the space around the toilet so there's room to work.
- Take photos of any boxing-in or access panels, and mention anything you know about old pipework.
Water supply in Scotland
Scottish Water supplies almost the whole country, mostly from lochs and reservoirs, and the water is generally soft. Cold winters are the bigger plumbing risk: burst pipes after a freeze are common, especially in lofts, under-floor voids and empty properties. In tenement flats a leak rarely stays in one home – water travels down through the floors below – so speed and access matter.
