Working in Glasgow
As well as Glasgow itself (G1, G2, G3 and 25 more postcode districts), we survey in Rutherglen, Bishopbriggs and Bearsden.
Glasgow is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. Where your Glasgow home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. We survey cloakrooms in Glasgow with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly.
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
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- 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
Under-stair layout
Headroom drops quickly under stairs. The basin and the space in front of the WC need standing height; the low end of the room can take the cistern or storage.
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.
