Working in Slough

In Slough we cover SL1, SL2 and SL3; we also cover Windsor, 1.8 miles away, and Maidenhead.

Across a large town like Slough, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. Landlords in Slough can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. For Slough homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out.

Water across much of Berkshire is 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

Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories

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.

Timing

Strip out just before the fit rather than weeks ahead, so the house is without a bathroom for as short a time as possible.

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.

Bathroom strip-out in Slough: questions

A bathroom strip-out in Slough usually costs £650–£2,000 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the home survey in Slough really free?

Do you cover SL1 in Slough?

Yes. We cover all of Slough, including SL1, SL2 and SL3, and nearby Windsor, Maidenhead and Gerrards Cross. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is there asbestos in my bathroom?

If your home was built before 2000, there may be. The likely places are textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids and boxing panels. You cannot tell by looking, so a sample test before strip-out is the safe way to find out. If asbestos is found, a specialist deals with it before the rest of the work goes ahead.
