Working in Stranraer
As well as Stranraer itself (DG9), we survey in Dumfries, Locharbriggs and Annan.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Stranraer: free survey, written quote, one team. If nobody in your Stranraer home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. Where a Stranraer shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter.
Most of Dumfries and Galloway is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Stranraer, 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 water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
- A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
- A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
- Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
Decisions to make first
Drain
A centre waste in a tray is the norm. A linear drain along one wall lets a tiled floor fall one way, so large tiles can run through.
Storage
With no bath, there is often space for a full-width vanity unit or a tall cupboard for towels.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, building standards apply instead of Part P. A refit in the same room rarely needs a building warrant, but altering the drainage may. Water fittings must meet the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014.
