Working in Dundee
We work right across Dundee — DD1, DD2, DD3 and 2 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Carnoustie and St Andrews.
Dundee is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. For a new cloakroom in Dundee, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Dundee, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days.
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
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
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.
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.
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.
