Working in Nantwich

We cover every part of Nantwich, including CW5, and nearby Crewe (3.8 miles) and Sandbach (8.4 miles).

Nantwich gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We time strip-outs in Nantwich for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Nantwich, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first.

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
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks

Decisions to make first

Strip-out only or with prep

Strip-out only leaves walls and floors as found. With prep, walls are boarded or patched and the floor checked and overlaid, ready for fitting.

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.

Is the water hard in Nantwich?

What happens to the water and toilet during a strip-out?

The bathroom supplies are isolated and capped so the rest of the house keeps its water, and the soil pipe is sealed to stop smells. If there are no isolation valves, the water may be off to the whole house for a short time. If the bathroom has your only WC, raise it at the survey so the toilet comes out as late as possible.
