Working in Grangemouth

We work right across Grangemouth — FK3 — and in neighbouring Falkirk and Alloa.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Grangemouth: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are planning a wet room in Grangemouth for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway. For a wet room in a Grangemouth flat, the first step is the title deeds, because agreement from the other owners or the factor is often needed before any work starts.

Water across much of the Forth Valley is soft. If that holds for your street in Grangemouth, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling

Decisions to make first

Former or screed

A pre-formed board gives a consistent fall and suits timber floors. A sand and cement screed suits concrete slabs and larger shower areas.

Open or screened

A fully open shower with no glass only works in a larger room, with the basin, WC and towels well away from the spray.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, a wet room that alters the drainage, involves structural work to the floor or forms a new bathroom may need a building warrant; a straight refit usually does not. Water fittings must meet the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014.

Is the water hard in Grangemouth?

Is a wet room better than a walk-in shower?

A wet room gives a completely level floor and a seamless finish, but costs more because the whole floor is tanked. A walk-in shower uses a low-profile tray and a glass panel, is quicker to fit and costs less. If you need level access, a wet room is the right choice; if you just want an open shower, a walk-in is usually enough. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers goes further.
