Working in Peacehaven

We cover every part of Peacehaven, including BN10, and nearby Rottingdean (2.6 miles) and Seaford (5 miles).

Peacehaven gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Peacehaven, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first. We time strip-outs in Peacehaven for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products.

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

A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks

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.

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 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 Peacehaven?

Who handles building control for a bathroom strip-out in Peacehaven?

Building control for Peacehaven is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Can I strip out my own bathroom?

You can, but cap every supply properly, have the electrics made safe by an electrician, and test for asbestos first in a home built before 2000. The waste must go to a licensed waste carrier or a household waste site that accepts it. Some fitters prefer to do the strip-out themselves so they know exactly what they are fitting onto, so ask yours first.
