Bathroom Ideas
Ideas for a family bathroom in a two-storey house, a small cottage-style room and a neat shower room.
Bathrooms in the two-storey houses along Ormiston Main Street
Ormiston was laid out in the 1730s as a planned village. It centres on a broad Main Street with mostly two-storey houses along each side, and a 15th-century market cross in the middle.
In houses like these, the bathroom is often upstairs and may sit over the kitchen or hall. We check how the pipes run and which way the floor boards lie before we settle where the shower and basin can go. If the bathroom is above a living room, we also plan how to keep the work tidy for the rooms below.
Upstairs bathrooms
A lighter shower tray and wall panels are easier to carry and fit on a first floor.
Pipe runs
Where the waste runs through a ceiling below, we plan around it rather than disturb it.
Conservation area rules for Ormiston homes
Ormiston has a conservation area on East Lothian Council's list. The council says small jobs such as replacing windows may need permission there, and fewer changes can be made without it.
Fitting a bathroom inside the house is rarely affected. A new window or extractor vent on the front of a Main Street house is different, so we agree vent positions early. The council must also be told six weeks before any tree work in a conservation area.
Vents and flues
We choose a vent route that suits the building before we order the fan.
Check with the council
If you are unsure, East Lothian Council's planning team can tell you what applies to your address.
Newer Ormiston homes and the old coal-mining village
Ormiston later became a coal-mining village, and homes have since been built in and around the grounds of Ormiston Hall. So the village has a mix of ages, from older houses to recent ones.
We treat each house as its own job. A newer house usually needs a better shower and more storage. An older one may need us to look more closely at what is behind the walls.
Newer houses
A larger walk-in shower, a deep vanity and panels give a plain bathroom a lasting finish.
Older houses
We check for damp, old pipework and floor condition before settling the plan.

Bathroom Fitting Questions in Ormiston
Is Ormiston a conservation area?
Yes. Ormiston appears among the 30 conservation areas on the East Lothian Council list. Fitting a bathroom inside is rarely affected. A window or vent on an outside wall may be, so we plan those early.
Can you fit a bathroom upstairs in an older Ormiston house?
Yes. We check the floor and where the waste runs before we settle a layout. That avoids surprises once the old suite is out.
Is there a railway station in Ormiston?
No. A bridge in the village crosses a railway route that is no longer in use. The home design visit takes place at your home.
Who handles building warrants in Ormiston?
East Lothian Council. Plenty of bathroom refits need no warrant. If yours could, we say so at the visit.
