Working in East Kilbride
We cover every part of East Kilbride, including G74, and nearby Cambuslang (3.2 miles) and Blantyre (3.9 miles).
East Kilbride has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your East Kilbride bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down. Strip-outs in East Kilbride include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.
Most of Lanarkshire 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
- Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
- A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
- Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
- The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
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.
Asbestos testing
In a home built before 2000, a sample test before work starts settles whether a ceiling coating, floor tile or boxing panel needs specialist removal.
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.
