Bathroom replacement programmes in Shetland
If bathrooms in Shetland are due for renewal, we can survey, price and install them to your specification, home by home.
Social landlords in Shetland can appoint us for bathroom replacement, from a single home to a programme. Shetland Islands Council still owns council homes here, alongside housing association stock. We work to the Scottish Housing Quality Standard and to your own specification.
