Working in Clydebank
In Clydebank we cover G60 and G81; we also cover Erskine, 1.7 miles away, and Renfrew.
In Clydebank, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Clydebank home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue. For an en-suite in Clydebank, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack.
Water across much of Greater Glasgow is soft. If that holds for your street in Clydebank, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
- A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
- A door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door
- A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
Decisions to make first
Shower size
A 900 mm square tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. In a long, narrow room, a 1200 by 800 mm walk-in tray with one glass panel feels far more generous.
Exposed or concealed valve
An exposed bar valve is quicker to fit and easy to service. A concealed valve looks cleaner but sits inside the wall, so plan how it will be reached for repairs.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, forming a new en-suite may need a building warrant because it creates a new bathroom and alters drainage; refitting an existing one rarely does. The Technical Handbook uses the same 15 litres per second extract rate for a bathroom, and the electrics should be tested and certified to BS 7671.
