CLIENT CHALLENGE
The homeowner contacted Harley Reid & Sons, trusted bathroom installers across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, because their existing utility room was taking up valuable space that could be put to better use. With a downstairs shower room becoming a priority for the household, the client wanted the utility function moved out to the garage rather than lost altogether.
The brief called for more than a simple room swap. The team needed to decommission the utility space with care, ensure existing fittings could be safely relocated, and deliver a smart, modern shower room in Dunecht that felt like it had always been part of the house.
OUR APPROACH
To begin, the Harley Reid & Sons team carefully decommissioned the existing utility room, taking care to protect the fittings and fixtures destined for their new home in the customer’s garage.
With the room stripped back, the transformation into a guest shower room began. This included:
- Relocating utility fittings and plumbing connections to the garage
- Installing new plumbing and fittings to support the shower room
- Fitting click vinyl flooring throughout
- Adding tongue and groove panelling for a practical, characterful finish
- Installing a modern shower suite and shower panels
- Plastering and decorating to complete the space
Throughout the two-week project, the team worked methodically between both spaces – old and new – to keep disruption to the household to a minimum.
THE RESULT
The finished guest shower room gives the Dunecht household a genuinely useful new space – practical, modern, and built with the same attention to detail Harley Reid & Sons bring to every project. Click vinyl flooring and tongue and groove panelling create a warm, low-maintenance finish, while the new shower suite makes the room a welcome addition for guests and family alike.
Relocating the utility space to the garage means the household hasn’t lost any of the functionality of their old utility room – it’s simply been given a smarter home.
Two weeks of carefully sequenced work delivered exactly what the client was after: more usable space, without compromise.
