Working in Bearsden

We work right across Bearsden — G13, G15 and G61 — and in neighbouring Clydebank and Renfrew.

Homes in and around Bearsden vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We plan loft bathrooms in Bearsden around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Bearsden home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.

Most of Greater Glasgow is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Bearsden, 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

A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position

Decisions to make first

Where the shower goes

Under the ridge or in a dormer, where the full height is. A walk-in shower with a single panel is usually easier to fit to a roof line than a framed enclosure.

Bath or no bath

A bath under the slope makes good use of low space, but the floor has to carry it when it is full of water and someone is in it.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, forming a new bathroom in the loft or altering the drainage may need a building warrant. The Technical Handbook uses 15 litres per second extract for a bathroom, and water fittings are covered by the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014.

Is the home survey in Bearsden really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover G13 in Bearsden?

Yes. We cover all of Bearsden, including G13, G15 and G61, and nearby Clydebank, Renfrew and Bishopbriggs. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

How much headroom do you need for a loft shower?
