Working in Carnoustie

In Carnoustie we cover DD7; we also cover Arbroath, 6.1 miles away, and Dundee.

Carnoustie gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In Carnoustie flats, the title deeds and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent. If you have just bought a house in Carnoustie, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust.

Supplies across most of Dundee and Angus are 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

Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover

Decisions to make first

How far back to strip

Back to brick gives a clean start. Keeping sound plaster on some walls saves time and money, and the survey shows which walls can stay.

Combining rooms

Taking out the wall between a bathroom and a separate WC gives one larger room, but it is structural work and may need building control.

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.
