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.
