Working in Bexhill-on-Sea
We work right across Bexhill-on-Sea — TN38, TN39 and TN40 — and in neighbouring Hastings and Hailsham.
Homes in and around Bexhill-on-Sea vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Bexhill-on-Sea homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. If your Bexhill-on-Sea bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down.
Most of East Sussex has hard water. 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
- The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
- Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
- Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
