Working in Barrow in Furness
We work right across Barrow in Furness — LA13, LA14 and LA15 — and in neighbouring Heysham and Morecambe.
In Barrow in Furness, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Barrow in Furness homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Barrow in Furness, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first.
Most of Cumbria 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
- 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
- Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
- Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
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.
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.
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.
