Working in Aylesbury

In Aylesbury we cover HP19, HP20 and HP21; we also cover Leighton Buzzard, 9.6 miles away, and Berkhamsted.

Homes in and around Aylesbury vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Aylesbury homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. Landlords in Aylesbury can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation.

Supplies across most of Buckinghamshire 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

A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
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
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier

Decisions to make first

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.

Asbestos testing

In a home built before 2000, a sample test before work starts settles whether a ceiling coating, floor tile or boxing panel needs specialist removal.

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.

How do you get a cast-iron bath out?

A cast-iron bath can weigh well over 100 kg, so it is usually broken up in place with the room protected, unless you want to keep it. Taking one out whole needs several people, a clear route and care on the stairs. Tell us at the survey if you want it saved.
