Working in Greenock

We cover every part of Greenock, including PA14, PA15, PA16 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Helensburgh (4.2 miles) and Dunoon (6.4 miles).

Homes in and around Greenock vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Greenock 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. In Greenock 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 Renfrewshire and Inverclyde 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

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
Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation

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.

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.

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?
