Working in Wrexham

As well as Wrexham itself (LL11, LL12 and LL13), we survey in Brymbo, Rhosllannerchrugog and Buckley.

In a city the size of Wrexham, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. For Wrexham homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. Landlords in Wrexham can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation.

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
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber

Decisions to make first

Strip-out only or with prep

Strip-out only leaves walls and floors as found. With prep, walls are boarded or patched and the floor checked and overlaid, ready for fitting.

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.

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 Wrexham?

Building control for Wrexham 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.
