Wimborne Minster gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Landlords in Wimborne Minster can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. For Wimborne Minster homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out.
Water across much of Dorset is hard. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
- 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
- A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
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.
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.
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.
