Working in Ellesmere Port
In Ellesmere Port we cover CH64, CH65 and CH66; we also cover Garston, 3.8 miles away, and Speke.
Homes in and around Ellesmere Port vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Ellesmere Port, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first. If your Ellesmere Port bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down.
Supplies across most of Cheshire are moderately hard. Mid-tone grout and matt tiles hide the odd water mark better than dark grout and high gloss. 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
- Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
- Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
- Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
