Working in Crowthorne

We work right across Crowthorne — GU47, RG40 and RG45 — and in neighbouring Sandhurst and Yateley.

Homes in and around Crowthorne vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Crowthorne bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down. Strip-outs in Crowthorne include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.

Supplies across most of Berkshire are hard. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed

Decisions to make first

Strip-out only or with prep

Strip-out only leaves walls and floors as found. With prep, walls are boarded or patched and the floor checked and overlaid, ready for fitting.

Keep or lose the plaster

Tiles often come off leaving plaster that can be tiled again. If the plaster comes away with them, the wall is boarded or re-plastered.

Rules that apply in England

In England, stripping out a bathroom does not need planning permission or building regulations approval in itself. Building regulations come in with what follows, such as new drainage under Part H or new circuits under Part P.

Is the water hard in Crowthorne?

What happens to the water and toilet during a strip-out?

The bathroom supplies are isolated and capped so the rest of the house keeps its water, and the soil pipe is sealed to stop smells. If there are no isolation valves, the water may be off to the whole house for a short time. If the bathroom has your only WC, raise it at the survey so the toilet comes out as late as possible.
