What the job includes

Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories

Decisions to make first

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.

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 the water hard in Glossop?

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.
