Working in Saltash

As well as Saltash itself (PL12), we survey in Plymouth, Plymstock and Bodmin.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Saltash: free survey, written quote, one team. Strip-outs in Saltash include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement. If your Saltash bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down.

Supplies across most of Cornwall are soft. 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
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks

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.

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.

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 Saltash?

What happens to the water and toilet during a strip-out?

The bathroom supplies are isolated and capped so the rest of the house keeps its water, and the soil pipe is sealed to stop smells. If there are no isolation valves, the water may be off to the whole house for a short time. If the bathroom has your only WC, raise it at the survey so the toilet comes out as late as possible.
