Working in Newton Mearns
We work right across Newton Mearns — G77 — and in neighbouring Barrhead and Paisley.
In Newton Mearns, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Strip-outs in Newton Mearns include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement. If your Newton Mearns bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down.
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
- The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
- Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
- Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
