Working in Strabane

In Strabane we cover BT81 and BT82; we also cover Omagh, 16.9 miles away, and Cookstown.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Strabane: free survey, written quote, one team. We time strip-outs in Strabane for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products. If your Strabane bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down.

Most of County Tyrone 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

Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber

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.

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.

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 Strabane: questions

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

Is the home survey in Strabane really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover BT81 and BT82 in Strabane?

Yes. We cover all of Strabane, including BT81 and BT82, and nearby Omagh, Cookstown and Dungannon. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is there asbestos in my bathroom?

If your home was built before 2000, there may be. The likely places are textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids and boxing panels. You cannot tell by looking, so a sample test before strip-out is the safe way to find out. If asbestos is found, a specialist deals with it before the rest of the work goes ahead.
