Working in Kirkintilloch

In Kirkintilloch we cover G66; we also cover Bishopbriggs, 3.4 miles away, and Cumbernauld.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Kirkintilloch: free survey, written quote, one team. A design survey in Kirkintilloch covers drainage, supplies, electrics and ventilation, so nothing on the drawing is guesswork. We measure Kirkintilloch bathrooms on site before drawing anything, so layouts are based on your walls rather than a standard plan.

Most of Greater Glasgow is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one
Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics
Layout options drawn to scale, showing the bath or shower, WC, basin, storage and towel rail
A clear view of which changes are cheap and which mean moving drainage or opening floors

Decisions to make first

The door

Re-hanging the door on the other side, fitting a sliding pocket door or moving the opening can free up a whole wall in a small room.

Where the shower goes

A shower on an outside wall is easier to ventilate; one under a sloping ceiling needs full head height where you stand, not just at the high side.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, a straight refit rarely needs a building warrant, but forming a new bathroom, altering drainage or structural work may. The Technical Handbook uses 15 l/s extract for a bathroom, and the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover new water fittings.

More about bathroom design

Bathroom design in Kirkintilloch: questions

Do you charge for bathroom design in Kirkintilloch?

Not separately. The home survey, layout options and itemised written quote are free, and the detailed design is part of a supply-and-fit job. A complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom in Kirkintilloch typically costs £6,200–£11,500 including VAT.

Is the water hard in Kirkintilloch?

Will a new bathroom design in Kirkintilloch need a building warrant?

Usually not for a straight refit. Building warrants are issued by the local council's building standards service, and forming a new bathroom, changing drainage or structural work can need one. We tell you at the survey and handle the application if one is needed.

How long does a new bathroom design take?

Allow survey visit plus design on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Kirkintilloch.

What does a bathroom designer do?

A bathroom designer works out the layout, products and finishes that suit your room and budget, within the limits set by the drainage, water supply, structure and electrics. The result is a drawing and a product list that the fitters build from, so the price can be fixed before anything is ordered.
