Working in Colwyn Bay

In Colwyn Bay we cover LL28, LL29 and LL31; we also cover Llandudno, 4.8 miles away, and Rhyl.

In Colwyn Bay, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Colwyn Bay homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. Strip-outs in Colwyn Bay include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.

Most of Clwyd has moderately hard water. 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

Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Rules that apply in Wales

In Wales, a strip-out is not building regulations work on its own. If the room is going back to brick ahead of structural or drainage changes, those parts go through building control under the Welsh regulations.

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.
