Working in Mangotsfield

We work right across Mangotsfield — BS5, BS15 and BS16 — and in neighbouring Kingswood and Keynsham.

Homes in and around Mangotsfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We time strip-outs in Mangotsfield for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Mangotsfield, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first.

Most of Gloucestershire 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

Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster

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.

How long does a bathroom strip-out take?

Allow 1–2 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Mangotsfield.

Is the home survey in Mangotsfield really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you take the old bathroom away?

Yes. The old suite, tiles, boards and packaging are taken away by a licensed waste carrier as part of the strip-out. Whoever you use, ask how they dispose of the waste, because a householder can be held responsible if it ends up fly-tipped.
