Working in Kirkintilloch

We work right across Kirkintilloch — G66 — and in neighbouring Bishopbriggs and Cumbernauld.

Kirkintilloch gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We plan loft bathrooms in Kirkintilloch around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage. If your Kirkintilloch house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump.

Water across much of Greater Glasgow is soft. If that holds for your street in Kirkintilloch, 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 survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces

Decisions to make first

Getting the water pressure

A pumped shower suits a gravity system with a cold tank; an electric shower heats cold mains water at the point of use; a combi or unvented cylinder gives mains pressure throughout.

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.

More about loft bathrooms

Loft bathrooms in Kirkintilloch: questions

How much does a loft bathroom cost in Kirkintilloch?

A loft bathroom in Kirkintilloch usually costs £6,200–£12,500 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the water hard in Kirkintilloch?

Will a loft bathroom in Kirkintilloch need a building warrant?

Usually not for a straight refit. Building warrants are issued by the local council's building standards service, and forming a new bathroom, changing drainage or structural work can need one. We tell you at the survey and handle the application if one is needed.

How long does a loft bathroom take?

Allow 6–12 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Kirkintilloch.

How much headroom do you need for a loft shower?

Plan for around 2 m of clear height over the whole shower area, and enough standing height in front of the basin and WC. A bath can sit lower under the slope as long as you can stand up where you get in and out. We mark the usable height at each position on the survey drawing.
