Bathroom fitters in Southside

Across Southside (G41) it is mostly bathroom refits, walk-in showers and en-suites in Shawlands and Strathbungo tenements and terraces, along with the panelling, brassware and feature lighting that goes with all of it. Southside is largely tenement and converted flats, which means solid floors that will not take a wetroom fall, a shared soil stack the new waste has to reach, neighbours below who need to know when the water goes off, and ceiling heights generous enough that a cove detail looks superb. Every job starts with a measured look at the room rather than a price guessed over the phone.

No. Southside is about 3 miles from the Glasgow base, well inside the daily patch, so travel is in the price and a survey visit is normally a couple of days away.

Yes. The Southside is a short run across the river and the tenement layouts there are familiar enough that the jobs run to time. Give us a ring and we will tell you what we normally find in bathrooms around Shawlands Cross and what yours is likely to need before anything comes off the walls.

It does, more than anywhere else on the patch. Most of Southside is tenement and converted flats, which brings three practical constraints. The floors are usually solid, so a fully tanked wetroom with a built-in fall is often not possible and a low-profile tray is the honest answer instead. The waste has to reach a shared soil stack, which decides where the WC and the shower can actually go rather than where a showroom plan put them. And the water goes off for the close, not just for your flat, so it gets arranged rather than sprung on people. The compensation is the ceiling height: a Southside flat has the headroom for a proper cove detail, and that is where the best-looking rooms we do come from.

Yes, and it is the reason most people call us rather than a fitter who then has to book a tiler and an electrician around himself. Strip-out, first fix, tiling, panelling, lighting and finishing are all done by the same team in Southside, which is also why the cove and mirror lighting can be wired at first fix instead of bolted on at the end.

Southside is around 3 miles from the Glasgow base, so getting out to measure and quote is quick. Actually starting depends on the diary, which is normally a few weeks out, and we would rather give you a real date than a hopeful one. Ring and we will tell you where the next honest slot is.
