In Newton Mearns, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For listed and period properties in Newton Mearns, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind. In Newton Mearns flats, the title deeds and the flat below are considered before a renovation is planned, particularly for moving the WC or adding a vent.
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
- Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
- 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
- Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
Decisions to make first
Shower floor
With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.
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.
