Working in Newton Aycliffe
We work right across Newton Aycliffe — DL4 and DL5 — and in neighbouring Bishop Auckland and Spennymoor.
Homes in and around Newton Aycliffe vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Newton Aycliffe homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. Landlords in Newton Aycliffe can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation.
Most of County Durham has moderately hard water. Mid-tone grout and matt tiles hide the odd water mark better than dark grout and high gloss. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
- 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
- Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
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.
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.
