Working in Bishopbriggs

As well as Bishopbriggs itself (G64), we survey in Glasgow, Kirkintilloch and Bearsden.

Bishopbriggs gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Strip-outs in Bishopbriggs include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement. Landlords in Bishopbriggs can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation.

Most of Greater Glasgow is supplied with soft water. 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

Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories

Decisions to make first

Timing

Strip out just before the fit rather than weeks ahead, so the house is without a bathroom for as short a time as possible.

Salvage

If you want to keep a cast-iron bath, a radiator or a piece of furniture, say so before we start, so it comes out whole rather than in pieces.

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.

Bathroom strip-out in Bishopbriggs: questions

How much should I budget for a bathroom strip-out in Bishopbriggs?

A bathroom strip-out in Bishopbriggs usually costs £600–£1,750 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover G64 in Bishopbriggs?

Yes. We cover all of Bishopbriggs, including G64, and nearby Glasgow, Kirkintilloch and Bearsden. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Bishopbriggs?

Will a bathroom strip-out in Bishopbriggs need a building warrant?

Usually not for a straight refit. Building warrants are issued by the local council's building standards service, and forming a new bathroom, changing drainage or structural work can need one. We tell you at the survey and handle the application if one is needed.

Can I strip out my own bathroom?

You can, but cap every supply properly, have the electrics made safe by an electrician, and test for asbestos first in a home built before 2000. The waste must go to a licensed waste carrier or a household waste site that accepts it. Some fitters prefer to do the strip-out themselves so they know exactly what they are fitting onto, so ask yours first.
