Working in Portadown

As well as Portadown itself (BT62), we survey in Craigavon, Banbridge and Armagh.

Homes in and around Portadown vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Portadown bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down. We time strip-outs in Portadown for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products.

Water across much of County Armagh is 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

Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster

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.

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 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.

Do you cover BT62 in Portadown?

Yes. We cover all of Portadown, including BT62, and nearby Craigavon, Banbridge and Armagh. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is there asbestos in my bathroom?

If your home was built before 2000, there may be. The likely places are textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids and boxing panels. You cannot tell by looking, so a sample test before strip-out is the safe way to find out. If asbestos is found, a specialist deals with it before the rest of the work goes ahead.
