Working in Barrhead

As well as Barrhead itself (G53, G78 and PA2), we survey in Paisley, Newton Mearns and Renfrew.

Barrhead gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. A renovation survey in Barrhead looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper. If you have just bought a house in Barrhead, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust.

Most of Greater Glasgow 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

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
New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Barrhead really free?

Do you cover G53 in Barrhead?

Can I live in the house during a bathroom renovation?
