Working in Paisley
We work right across Paisley — PA1, PA2 and PA3 — and in neighbouring Barrhead and Renfrew.
Across a large town like Paisley, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Paisley cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly. For a new cloakroom in Paisley, the first thing we look at is where the nearest drain or soil stack runs.
Most of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde 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
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- 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
- 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
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.
