Working in Clydebank

As well as Clydebank itself (G60 and G81), we survey in Erskine, Renfrew and Bearsden.

In Clydebank, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you have just bought a house in Clydebank, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust. For listed and period properties in Clydebank, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind.

Supplies across most of Greater Glasgow 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

A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open

Decisions to make first

Pipe material

Copper suits exposed runs and the area near the boiler. Plastic pipe is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.

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.

Is the water hard in Clydebank?

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.
