Working in Cheadle Hulme
We cover every part of Cheadle Hulme, including SK3, SK7 and SK8, and nearby Bramhall (1.6 miles) and Stockport (2.7 miles).
In Cheadle Hulme, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Cheadle Hulme homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Cheadle Hulme, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first.
Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are soft. 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
- Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
- Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
- 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
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.
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.
