Working in Bearsden

As well as Bearsden itself (G13, G15 and G61), we survey in Clydebank, Renfrew and Bishopbriggs.

In Bearsden, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Bearsden 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 Bearsden, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind.

Water across much of Greater Glasgow 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

New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas
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

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Do I need building regulations approval for a bathroom renovation?
