Working in Seaford

In Seaford we cover BN25; we also cover Peacehaven, 5 miles away, and Rottingdean.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Seaford: free survey, written quote, one team. For Seaford homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Seaford, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first.

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

Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
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.

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.

Do you cover BN25 in Seaford?

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.
