Most of Berkshire has hard water. 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

Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
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
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier

Decisions to make first

The floor

Old vinyl or tiles on a ply overlay can come up with the ply. Tiles bonded to a screed may need grinding back or overlaying instead.

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.

Who handles building control for a bathroom strip-out in Sandhurst?

Building control for Sandhurst is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Can I strip out my own bathroom?

You can, but cap every supply properly, have the electrics made safe by an electrician, and test for asbestos first in a home built before 2000. The waste must go to a licensed waste carrier or a household waste site that accepts it. Some fitters prefer to do the strip-out themselves so they know exactly what they are fitting onto, so ask yours first.
