Working in Chesterfield

In Chesterfield we cover S40 and S41; we also cover Staveley, 3 miles away, and Dronfield.

Chesterfield has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Chesterfield, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first. Landlords in Chesterfield can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation.

Most of Derbyshire has moderately hard water. 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

Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
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

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.

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 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.

Is there asbestos in my bathroom?
