Working in Cambuslang
We work right across Cambuslang — G73 — and in neighbouring Rutherglen and Blantyre.
In Cambuslang, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In Cambuslang flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the title deeds and the flat below in mind. Plumbing surveys in Cambuslang include a look at the existing pipework for lead, corrosion or poor support before we quote.
Water across much of Lanarkshire 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
- A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
- Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system
- Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
- Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
