Working in East Kilbride
We cover every part of East Kilbride, including G74, and nearby Cambuslang (3.2 miles) and Blantyre (3.9 miles).
East Kilbride has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your East Kilbride 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 East Kilbride, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind.
Most of Lanarkshire 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
- Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
- New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
- New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
- Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
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.
Shower floor
With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.
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.
