Working in Helensburgh
We work right across Helensburgh — G84 — and in neighbouring Greenock and Vale of Leven.
Helensburgh gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Where your Helensburgh home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. If your Helensburgh cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly.
Supplies across most of Argyll and Bute are soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
Decisions to make first
Finishes
A small room can carry a bolder tile or wallpaper. A feature wall behind the WC costs far less here than in a full bathroom because there is so little of it.
Door
An outward-opening door is usually needed so it does not hit the WC. A sliding door suits a narrow hallway where an outward door would block the way.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, forming a new WC that alters drainage may need a building warrant, while refitting an existing cloakroom normally does not. Water fittings are covered by the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014, and electrics should be tested and certified to BS 7671.
