Working in Heanor

We work right across Heanor — DE75 — and in neighbouring Ripley and Eastwood.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Heanor: free survey, written quote, one team. Landlords in Heanor can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. For Heanor homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out.

Water across much of Derbyshire is moderately hard. 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

Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
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

The floor

Old vinyl or tiles on a ply overlay can come up with the ply. Tiles bonded to a screed may need grinding back or overlaying instead.

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.

How do you get a cast-iron bath out?

A cast-iron bath can weigh well over 100 kg, so it is usually broken up in place with the room protected, unless you want to keep it. Taking one out whole needs several people, a clear route and care on the stairs. Tell us at the survey if you want it saved.
