Working in Kilmarnock
We cover every part of Kilmarnock, including KA1, and nearby Irvine (6.2 miles) and Kilwinning (8.7 miles).
In Kilmarnock, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a new cloakroom in Kilmarnock, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs. If your Kilmarnock cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly.
Water across much of Ayrshire is 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
- 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
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
Decisions to make first
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.
Under-stair layout
Headroom drops quickly under stairs. The basin and the space in front of the WC need standing height; the low end of the room can take the cistern or storage.
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.
