Working in Stanford-le-Hope
In Stanford-le-Hope we cover SS16 and SS17; we also cover Basildon, 3.3 miles away, and Pitsea.
Homes in and around Stanford-le-Hope vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We time strip-outs in Stanford-le-Hope for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products. If your Stanford-le-Hope bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down.
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
- The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
- Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
- Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
- Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
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.
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.
