Dukinfield gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Landlords in Dukinfield can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Dukinfield, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first.

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

Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
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
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier

Decisions to make first

Strip-out only or with prep

Strip-out only leaves walls and floors as found. With prep, walls are boarded or patched and the floor checked and overlaid, ready for fitting.

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.

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.
