London homes in Cricklewood often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. Landlords in Cricklewood can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. We time strip-outs in Cricklewood for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products.

Water across much of Greater London 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

Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
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

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.

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.

How do you get a cast-iron bath out?

A cast-iron bath can weigh well over 100 kg, so it is usually broken up in place with the room protected, unless you want to keep it. Taking one out whole needs several people, a clear route and care on the stairs. Tell us at the survey if you want it saved.
