Bathroom Ideas
En-suites, family bathrooms and walk-in showers for the houses and bungalows of Fairmilehead.
Bathrooms for Fairmilehead detached houses and bungalows
Fairmilehead sits about three miles south of the city centre, between the Braids and the city bypass. Most of it was built in the second half of the 20th century. A few buildings are older, such as the parish church, dated 1937.
Detached houses and bungalows are common here, and some have rooms in the roof. If yours does, there may be room for a second bathroom or a shower room upstairs. We check the space, the waste route and the water supply before we plan one.
A second bathroom in a dormer bungalow
If a bungalow with rooms in the roof has only one bathroom, we look at fitting a shower room or en-suite upstairs, with the waste going down in the least disruptive way.
Replacing a dated suite
If the suite and tiles are simply worn out, we strip the room, make the walls good and refit it from one written quote.
En-suites and shower rooms in newer Fairmilehead homes
Parts of Fairmilehead are far newer. The former Scottish Water treatment works was turned into housing by Cala and David Wilson Homes. If your newer house has an en-suite, it may be small, with a basic suite.
A compact en-suite works best with a good shower enclosure and wall-hung or space-saving fittings. We measure to the millimetre and show you the layout before you decide.
Small en-suite, better layout
A corner shower with a sliding door, a narrow basin and a recessed shelf make a small room easier to use.
Boxed-in pipes
Pipes in newer houses can be boxed in tightly. We look at where the stack and the water supply run before we move anything.
Refitting the bathroom in a 1930s Fairmilehead bungalow
Some Fairmilehead houses go back to the 1930s. Estate agent listings on Frogston Road West and Biggar Road describe 1930s detached bungalows, some with Art Deco styling. That decade also gave the area its roadhouse, since demolished.
A bathroom in a house like that may be the original room with later changes. We look at the floor, the old pipework and the walls before pricing. Picture rails and coving elsewhere in the house stay as they are.
Old pipework
Where we find old pipes behind the bath or in the floor, we say so on the quote and plan replacing them as part of the job.
Separate toilet
If the toilet has its own small room, combining it with the bathroom is one way to gain space, and we check the wall first.
