We time strip-outs in South Ockendon for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products.
Water across much of Essex is very 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
- Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
- A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
- Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
- 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.
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.
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.
