Working in Locharbriggs
As well as Locharbriggs itself (DG1), we survey in Dumfries, Annan and Stranraer.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Locharbriggs: free survey, written quote, one team. A renovation survey in Locharbriggs looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper. If your Locharbriggs 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.
Most of Dumfries and Galloway is supplied with soft water. 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
- Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
- Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
- New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
Decisions to make first
Heating
Moving the radiator, adding a heated towel rail or laying underfloor heating is simpler while the room is stripped.
Shower floor
With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.
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.
