Working in Vale of Leven
As well as Vale of Leven itself (G82 and G83), we survey in Dumbarton, Helensburgh and Erskine.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Vale of Leven: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Vale of Leven bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down. Strip-outs in Vale of Leven include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.
Supplies across most of Greater Glasgow are 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
- Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
- Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
- Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
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.
Strip-out only or with prep
Strip-out only leaves walls and floors as found. With prep, walls are boarded or patched and the floor checked and overlaid, ready for fitting.
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.
