Working in Cumbernauld

We work right across Cumbernauld — G67 — and in neighbouring Airdrie and Coatbridge.

In Cumbernauld, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Cumbernauld bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move. If you are in Cumbernauld and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices.

Most of Lanarkshire 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 product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
Elevations and tile layouts on a design, supply and fit project, so the setting-out is agreed before tiling starts
A measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing

Decisions to make first

Storage

Fitted furniture, a vanity with a tall cupboard, or recessed niches and a mirror cabinet. Recessed storage costs no floor space but needs a stud wall or deep boxing to sit in.

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.

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 Cumbernauld.

What is the best layout for a small bathroom?

In most small bathrooms the most practical layout puts the bath or shower along the longest wall, the WC on or close to the soil stack and the basin nearest the door. Swapping a bath for a walk-in shower, using short-projection pieces and hanging them on the wall all free up floor. Our small bathrooms page covers typical layouts.
