Working in Kirkintilloch

In Kirkintilloch we cover G66; we also cover Bishopbriggs, 3.4 miles away, and Cumbernauld.

Kirkintilloch gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We quote vanity unit work in Kirkintilloch after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. Wall-hung vanities in Kirkintilloch homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.

Supplies across most of Greater Glasgow are soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side

Decisions to make first

Drawers or doors

Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.

Waste and overflow

A basin with an overflow takes a slotted waste; one without needs an unslotted waste, often a push-button 'click-clack' type.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, a replacement vanity unit does not need a building warrant. The Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover the new tap and supplies.

More about vanity units

Vanity units in Kirkintilloch: questions

How much does a new vanity unit cost in Kirkintilloch?

A new vanity unit in Kirkintilloch usually costs £350–£1,450 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.

Is the water hard in Kirkintilloch?

Will a new vanity unit in Kirkintilloch 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.

How long does a new vanity unit take?

Allow half a day to 1 day on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Kirkintilloch.

What height should a vanity unit be?

Most basins are set with the rim around 800 to 900 mm above the floor. A wall-hung unit lets you choose the height, which helps taller households; a floor-standing unit is fixed by its cabinet height.
