Working in Carnoustie
As well as Carnoustie itself (DD7), we survey in Arbroath, Dundee and St Andrews.
Carnoustie gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the only toilet in your Carnoustie home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips. For a new cloakroom in Carnoustie, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs.
Water across much of Dundee and Angus 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
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
Decisions to make first
WC style
A wall-hung WC on a frame gives the most floor space and looks neat. A back-to-wall pan in a short furniture unit is easier to fit against an uneven wall.
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.
