Working in Tewkesbury

We cover every part of Tewkesbury, including GL20, and nearby Cheltenham (7.2 miles) and Gloucester (9.4 miles).

Tewkesbury gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Tewkesbury homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. We time strip-outs in Tewkesbury for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products.

Water across much of Gloucestershire is 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

Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
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
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off

Decisions to make first

Asbestos testing

In a home built before 2000, a sample test before work starts settles whether a ceiling coating, floor tile or boxing panel needs specialist removal.

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.

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 GL20 in Tewkesbury?

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.
