Bathroom Renovations Prestonpans: Tanked Before Tiled
George Herkes & Son Joinery (Est. 1989), a family run joinery firm based in Tranent, East Lothian, covers bathroom renovation in Prestonpans and the rest of East Lothian. Shower areas are tanked before tiling, with taped joints and banded corners, and the tanking is photographed before it is covered.
How is a wet room or shower made watertight in Prestonpans?
Always, and the waterproofing goes on before a tile is fixed. Boards go on, the joints are taped and the corners banded. George Herkes & Son Joinery (Est. 1989) takes a photograph of the tanking before it is tiled over and gives it to you.
A vanity unit or bathroom panelling is joinery made to the wall. They are made bespoke joinery in Cockenzie and Port Seton for the room as it stands, not forced into it. Extraction, lighting and circuits come first, then the tiling and the joinery.
How many doors should a joiner hang in a day?
There is no fixed number, and a joiner working to a daily target is a warning sign. The count depends on whether the linings are square, whether the doors are heavy or fire rated, and how much ironmongery each one takes. A door that shuts cleanly for years is worth more than a fast count.
What turns up behind old kitchen units in Prestonpans?
First the appliances are isolated, then the wall and base units come out. Rubbish goes as it comes out rather than sitting in the garden. George Herkes & Son Joinery (Est. 1989) finishes the strip out before cutting into the new kitchen.
Unsupported plaster, old chases and capped pipes usually surface now. Each discovery is priced and agreed before anything goes over it. The new units never cover an unsolved problem.
What can a single garage be turned into?
A long, narrow single garage suits a home office, a utility with units along one wall, or a bedroom with storage at the far end. With a double garage, a family room is possible. Its proportions pick the room before any style choice.
George Herkes & Son Joinery (Est. 1989) checks the slab, the damp course and the lintel over the opening before anything is priced. The slab is built up and levelled, and the walls get lining and insulation, while the up and over door is replaced by a wall and a window.
