Which towns do we cover in Dyfed?

Supplies across most of Dyfed are soft. 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. For Llanelli homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out.

What the job includes

Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 Wales

Homes built before 2000 can contain asbestos in textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids and boxing panels, so suspect materials should be tested before strip-out if there is any doubt. Bathroom waste should be taken away by a licensed waste carrier. Disconnecting electrical items should leave every circuit safe and is a job for a qualified electrician, and any work near a boiler or gas pipe is for a Gas Safe registered engineer.

In Wales, a strip-out is not building regulations work on its own. If the room is going back to brick ahead of structural or drainage changes, those parts go through building control under the Welsh regulations.

Is the water hard in Dyfed?

Is there asbestos in my bathroom?

If your home was built before 2000, there may be. The likely places are textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids and boxing panels. You cannot tell by looking, so a sample test before strip-out is the safe way to find out. If asbestos is found, a specialist deals with it before the rest of the work goes ahead.
