Working in Uxbridge

We work right across Uxbridge — SL0, UB8 and UB10 — and in neighbouring Ruislip and Hayes.

London homes in Uxbridge often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. Strip-outs in Uxbridge include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement. Landlords in Uxbridge can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation.

Most of Greater London has very 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
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber

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.

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.

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.

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.
