Working in Locharbriggs

We work right across Locharbriggs — DG1 — and in neighbouring Dumfries and Annan.

Locharbriggs gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We measure small bathrooms in Locharbriggs to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits. If your Locharbriggs bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit.

Water across much of Dumfries and Galloway is soft. 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

Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well

Decisions to make first

Door

Re-hanging the door to open outwards, or fitting a sliding door, frees the space behind it. In a very small room this alone can make space for a bigger shower.

Storage

Recess shelves into stud walls or boxing, put a mirror cabinet over the basin and use the wall above the WC. Avoid floor-standing units in very tight rooms.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, building standards apply rather than Part P. A like-for-like refit rarely needs a building warrant, but altering the drainage, for example moving the WC to a new connection, may. Wiring should be tested and certified to BS 7671.

Is the water hard in Locharbriggs?

Wall-hung or floor-standing toilet in a small bathroom?

A wall-hung toilet makes a small bathroom look larger and is easier to clean around, because the floor runs underneath it. It needs a concealed frame inside a false wall or boxing roughly 150 to 200 mm deep, which can often go where pipe boxing already sits. A back-to-wall pan in a slim furniture unit is a good middle option.
