In a city the size of Milton Keynes, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. Landlords in Milton Keynes can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Milton Keynes, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first.
Water across much of Buckinghamshire 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
- Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
- The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
- A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
- Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
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
