Working in Kirkcaldy
We work right across Kirkcaldy — KY1 and KY2 — and in neighbouring Glenrothes and Dunfermline.
Homes in and around Kirkcaldy vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Kirkcaldy, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days. For a new cloakroom in Kirkcaldy, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs.
Supplies across most of Fife 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
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.
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.
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.
