Working in Ashton-under-Lyne
As well as Ashton-under-Lyne itself (M34, M43, OL6 and 3 more postcode districts), we survey in Dukinfield, Stalybridge and Droylsden.
Homes in and around Ashton-under-Lyne vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Strip-outs in Ashton-under-Lyne include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement. If your Ashton-under-Lyne bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down.
Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. 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
- Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
- 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
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.
The floor
Old vinyl or tiles on a ply overlay can come up with the ply. Tiles bonded to a screed may need grinding back or overlaying instead.
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.
