Working in Ayr
As well as Ayr itself (KA7, KA8 and KA9), we survey in Irvine, Kilmarnock and Kilwinning.
In Ayr, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Where your Ayr home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. We survey cloakrooms in Ayr with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly.
Supplies across most of Ayrshire 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
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
Decisions to make first
Basin
A corner basin fits the tightest rooms. A slim vanity basin with a cupboard underneath gives somewhere to keep spare toilet rolls and soap, and hides the trap.
Macerator or gravity
Gravity drainage is silent and needs no maintenance. A macerator lets a WC go where a pipe could not otherwise fall, provided another WC in the house is on gravity drainage.
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.
