Working in Greenock

We cover every part of Greenock, including PA14, PA15, PA16 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Helensburgh (4.2 miles) and Dunoon (6.4 miles).

In Greenock, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Greenock homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. Strip-outs in Greenock include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.

Supplies across most of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde 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

Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house

Decisions to make first

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.

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 there asbestos in my bathroom?

If your home was built before 2000, there may be. The likely places are textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids and boxing panels. You cannot tell by looking, so a sample test before strip-out is the safe way to find out. If asbestos is found, a specialist deals with it before the rest of the work goes ahead.
