Working in Thornaby-on-Tees
We work right across Thornaby-on-Tees — TS16, TS17 and TS18 — and in neighbouring Stockton-on-Tees and Yarm.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Thornaby-on-Tees: free survey, written quote, one team. For Thornaby-on-Tees homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. Landlords in Thornaby-on-Tees can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation.
Supplies across most of County Durham are moderately hard. 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
- 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
- The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
- Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
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.
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 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.
