Working in Rhyl

As well as Rhyl itself (LL18), we survey in Prestatyn, Colwyn Bay and Llandudno.

In Rhyl, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Strip-outs in Rhyl include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement. We time strip-outs in Rhyl for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products.

Water across much of Clwyd is 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

Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
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

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.

Keep or lose the plaster

Tiles often come off leaving plaster that can be tiled again. If the plaster comes away with them, the wall is boarded or re-plastered.

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.

Who handles building control for a bathroom strip-out in Rhyl?

Building control for Rhyl is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Can I strip out my own bathroom?

You can, but cap every supply properly, have the electrics made safe by an electrician, and test for asbestos first in a home built before 2000. The waste must go to a licensed waste carrier or a household waste site that accepts it. Some fitters prefer to do the strip-out themselves so they know exactly what they are fitting onto, so ask yours first.
