Working in Greenock
We cover every part of Greenock, including PA14, PA15, PA16 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Helensburgh (4.2 miles) and Dunoon (6.4 miles).
Homes in and around Greenock 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 Greenock, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days. If your Greenock cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly.
Water across much of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde 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
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
