Working in Kilwinning

We cover every part of Kilwinning, including KA13, and nearby Irvine (3.1 miles) and Kilmarnock (8.7 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Kilwinning: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Kilwinning home is older and the bathroom still has original pipework or plaster behind the tiles, the survey shows whether a renovation or a refit makes more sense. For listed and period properties in Kilwinning, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind.

Water across much of Ayrshire is soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas

Decisions to make first

Heating

Moving the radiator, adding a heated towel rail or laying underfloor heating is simpler while the room is stripped.

Plaster or boards

Plaster suits dry walls that will be painted. Cement-based tile backer boards are the better base behind showers and under heavy tiles.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, structural work, altering drainage or forming a new bathroom may need a building warrant, which must be granted before that work starts. A straight refit rarely needs one. Electrical work is tested and certified to BS 7671.

What problems are found when a bathroom is stripped out?

The usual ones are rotten floorboards or joists around the WC and bath, old lead or corroded pipework, joists notched too deeply for pipes, plaster that has come away from the wall and circuits without RCD protection. In homes built before 2000, asbestos can turn up in textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids or boxing panels.
