Working in Redruth

We cover every part of Redruth, including TR15 and TR16, and nearby Camborne (3.5 miles) and Truro (7.8 miles).

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

Most of Cornwall is supplied with soft water. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories

Decisions to make first

Asbestos testing

In a home built before 2000, a sample test before work starts settles whether a ceiling coating, floor tile or boxing panel needs specialist removal.

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 England

In England, stripping out a bathroom does not need planning permission or building regulations approval in itself. Building regulations come in with what follows, such as new drainage under Part H or new circuits under Part P.

Is the water hard in Redruth?

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

Building control for Redruth 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.
