Working in Bishopbriggs
We work right across Bishopbriggs — G64 — and in neighbouring Glasgow and Kirkintilloch.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Bishopbriggs: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Bishopbriggs water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads. If your Bishopbriggs bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go.
Supplies across most of Greater Glasgow 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
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
- Basin, bath and shower wastes sized and laid to a steady fall, with traps that hold their water seal
Decisions to make first
Gravity or pumped waste
Gravity drainage is always the first choice. A shower waste pump or macerator solves a run that cannot fall, but adds noise, a power supply and servicing.
Shower supply
Combi boilers and unvented cylinders give mains pressure. A gravity system with a cold tank may need a pump, but a pump must never be connected to the mains.
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.
