Working in Grangemouth

As well as Grangemouth itself (FK3), we survey in Falkirk, Alloa and Bathgate.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Grangemouth: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Grangemouth, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first. Landlords in Grangemouth can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation.

Water across much of the Forth Valley is soft. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house

Decisions to make first

Keep or lose the plaster

Tiles often come off leaving plaster that can be tiled again. If the plaster comes away with them, the wall is boarded or re-plastered.

The floor

Old vinyl or tiles on a ply overlay can come up with the ply. Tiles bonded to a screed may need grinding back or overlaying instead.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, removal work does not need a building warrant, but structural work, altering drainage or forming a new bathroom afterwards may. Where a warrant is needed, it has to be granted before that work starts, so plan the strip-out around it.

Is the water hard in Grangemouth?

What happens to the water and toilet during a strip-out?

The bathroom supplies are isolated and capped so the rest of the house keeps its water, and the soil pipe is sealed to stop smells. If there are no isolation valves, the water may be off to the whole house for a short time. If the bathroom has your only WC, raise it at the survey so the toilet comes out as late as possible.
