Working in Rutherglen
As well as Rutherglen itself (G40, G42 and G73), we survey in Cambuslang, Glasgow and East Kilbride.
Homes in and around Rutherglen vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a period house in Rutherglen with high ceilings, we plan the lighting and tile heights to suit the proportions of the room. If your Rutherglen home has a larger main bathroom, a freestanding bath with a separate walk-in shower is usually where the design starts.
Most of Lanarkshire is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Large-format porcelain, natural stone or microcement over full tanking
- A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting
- Bespoke fitted furniture, mitred tile edges and recessed niches
- A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow
Decisions to make first
Brassware finish
Chrome is the easiest to keep clean. Brushed brass, nickel and matt black look striking but show limescale marks unless they are wiped down.
Freestanding bath material
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch. Stone resin holds heat and feels solid but is much heavier. Cast iron is the heaviest of all and nearly always needs a structural check.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, structural work such as strengthening a floor, or altering the drainage, may need a building warrant. An unvented cylinder should be fitted by an installer qualified for unvented systems, and the electrics tested and certified to BS 7671.
