Working in Magherafelt

As well as Magherafelt itself (BT45 and BT46), we survey in Cookstown, Ballymena and Antrim.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Magherafelt: free survey, written quote, one team. Strip-outs in Magherafelt include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement. Landlords in Magherafelt 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 Londonderry is supplied with soft water. 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

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
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber

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.

Asbestos testing

In a home built before 2000, a sample test before work starts settles whether a ceiling coating, floor tile or boxing panel needs specialist removal.

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.

Is the water hard in Magherafelt?

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.
