Working in Hawarden

We work right across Hawarden — CH5 — and in neighbouring Deeside and Buckley.

In Hawarden, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Hawarden bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Hawarden, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first.

Supplies across most of Clwyd 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

The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed

Decisions to make first

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.

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 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.

Is there asbestos in my bathroom?

If your home was built before 2000, there may be. The likely places are textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids and boxing panels. You cannot tell by looking, so a sample test before strip-out is the safe way to find out. If asbestos is found, a specialist deals with it before the rest of the work goes ahead.
