Working in Cookstown

We cover every part of Cookstown, including BT80, and nearby Magherafelt (9.4 miles) and Dungannon (9.7 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Cookstown: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Cookstown, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first. Strip-outs in Cookstown include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.

Supplies across most of County Tyrone 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

A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks

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 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 Cookstown: questions

How much does a bathroom strip-out cost in Cookstown?

Is the water hard in Cookstown?

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.
