Working in Clydebank

We cover every part of Clydebank, including G60 and G81, and nearby Erskine (1.7 miles) and Renfrew (2.1 miles).

In Clydebank, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Clydebank home has a gravity system with a loft tank, we check the head of water before recommending a shower or a pump. If your Clydebank water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads.

Water across much of Greater Glasgow is 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

The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system

Decisions to make first

Hard water

In hard water areas, a scale reducer or water softener protects valves, shower heads and glass. Keep an unsoftened tap in the kitchen for drinking.

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Clydebank?

What is a macerator toilet and when can I use one?

A macerator is a pump unit behind the WC that breaks down waste and pumps it through a small-bore pipe to the soil stack, so a WC can go where gravity drainage cannot reach. Building regulations accept one only where the home also has a WC on gravity drainage. It needs a power supply and makes some noise when it runs.
