Working in Erskine
We work right across Erskine — G60, G81 and PA8 — and in neighbouring Clydebank and Renfrew.
Erskine gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In Erskine flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the title deeds and the flat below in mind. If your Erskine water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads.
Supplies across most of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde 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
- 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
- New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
