Working in South Croydon
We cover every part of South Croydon, including CR0, CR2 and CR9, and nearby Croydon (1.5 miles) and Purley (1.9 miles).
In South Croydon, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. Landlords in South Croydon can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. Strip-outs in South Croydon include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.
Supplies across most of Greater London are 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
- Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
- 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
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.
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.
