Working in Johnstone
We cover every part of Johnstone, including PA5, and nearby Paisley (3.2 miles) and Barrhead (5.2 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Johnstone: free survey, written quote, one team. Where your Johnstone home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. We survey cloakrooms in Johnstone with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly.
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 new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- 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
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
