Working in Wishaw

We work right across Wishaw — ML2 — and in neighbouring Larkhall and Motherwell.

In Wishaw, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Wishaw home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. If your Wishaw loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have.

Supplies across most of Lanarkshire are soft. If that holds for your street in Wishaw, 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

Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position

Decisions to make first

Gravity or pumped waste

Gravity is silent and maintenance-free. A pumped waste or macerator lets fittings sit away from the stack, provided the house has a WC on gravity drainage elsewhere.

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.

A loft bathroom in Wishaw 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 home survey in Wishaw 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 ML2 in Wishaw?

Yes. We cover all of Wishaw, including ML2, and nearby Larkhall, Motherwell and Hamilton. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Wishaw?

Can you put a toilet in a loft?

Yes, if the waste can fall to the soil stack or a macerator can be used. Gravity drainage is the first choice; a macerator is only allowed where the home already has a WC on gravity drainage, which in most houses means the main bathroom.
