Working in Barrhead
We cover every part of Barrhead, including G53, G78 and PA2, and nearby Paisley (2.7 miles) and Newton Mearns (2.9 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Barrhead: free survey, written quote, one team. For a new cloakroom in Barrhead, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs. Where your Barrhead home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go.
Supplies across most of Greater Glasgow 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
- 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
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
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.
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.
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.
