Working in Dunoon
We work right across Dunoon — PA23 — and in neighbouring Greenock and Helensburgh. Because Dunoon is further afield, we arrange survey visits in batches; tell us your timescale and we will confirm a date before you commit to anything.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Dunoon: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Dunoon bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go. Plumbing surveys in Dunoon include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote.
Supplies across most of Argyll and Bute are soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
Decisions to make first
Pipe routes
Drilling through the middle of joists, rather than notching the tops, keeps the floor strong. Routes are planned with the joist direction in mind.
Concealed or exposed valves
Concealed shower valves look neater but need an access route for servicing. Exposed bar valves are easier to reach and replace.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover new water fittings, with the same 6-litre flush limit and backflow rules. Altering drainage may need a building warrant, so check before moving a WC or adding a new connection to the stack.
