Working in Carrickfergus
We work right across Carrickfergus — BT38 — and in neighbouring Newtownabbey and Bangor.
In Carrickfergus, 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 Carrickfergus for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products. Strip-outs in Carrickfergus include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.
Supplies across most of County Antrim 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
- Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
- The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
- Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
Decisions to make first
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.
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 Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, stripping out is not controlled work, but alterations that follow to drainage, structure or ventilation go through building control. The same asbestos and waste precautions apply.
