Working in Banbridge

As well as Banbridge itself (BT25, BT31 and BT32), we survey in Craigavon, Portadown and Newry.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Banbridge: free survey, written quote, one team. For Banbridge homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. Strip-outs in Banbridge include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.

Supplies across most of County Down 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

Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off

Decisions to make first

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.

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 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.

Bathroom strip-out in Banbridge: questions

How much should I budget for a bathroom strip-out in Banbridge?

A bathroom strip-out in Banbridge usually costs £550–£1,600 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the water hard in Banbridge?

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.
