Working in Stirling
We cover every part of Stirling, including FK7, FK8, FK9 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Alloa (5.7 miles) and Falkirk (10 miles).
Homes in and around Stirling vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the only toilet in your Stirling home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips. Where your Stirling home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go.
Most of the Forth Valley is supplied with soft water. 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
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- 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
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.
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.
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.
