Working in Winsford

We work right across Winsford — CW7 — and in neighbouring Northwich and Crewe.

Homes in and around Winsford vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Strip-outs in Winsford include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement. We time strip-outs in Winsford for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products.

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
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
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house

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.

Salvage

If you want to keep a cast-iron bath, a radiator or a piece of furniture, say so before we start, so it comes out whole rather than in pieces.

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 long does a bathroom strip-out take?

Allow 1–2 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Winsford.

Is the home survey in Winsford really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you take the old bathroom away?

Yes. The old suite, tiles, boards and packaging are taken away by a licensed waste carrier as part of the strip-out. Whoever you use, ask how they dispose of the waste, because a householder can be held responsible if it ends up fly-tipped.
