Working in Wishaw

We cover every part of Wishaw, including ML2, and nearby Larkhall (3 miles) and Motherwell (3.3 miles).

In Wishaw, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Where a Wishaw shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter. If nobody in your Wishaw home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Most of Lanarkshire is supplied with soft water. 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

A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass

Decisions to make first

Glass

8 mm toughened glass is the usual standard for a walk-in panel. An easy-clean coating helps a great deal in hard-water areas.

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.

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.

What shower suits my water system?

It depends on your hot water. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure to a thermostatic mixer. A tank-fed system may need a pump, which must only be used on gravity systems. An electric shower heats cold mains water and suits a home without much stored hot water. See choosing a shower.
