Working in Failsworth

As well as Failsworth itself (M35, M40 and M43), we survey in Droylsden, Chadderton and Ashton-under-Lyne.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Failsworth: free survey, written quote, one team. We time strip-outs in Failsworth for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Failsworth, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first.

Water across much of Greater Manchester is 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
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster

Decisions to make first

Timing

Strip out just before the fit rather than weeks ahead, so the house is without a bathroom for as short a time as possible.

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.

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 the water hard in Failsworth?

What happens to the water and toilet during a strip-out?

The bathroom supplies are isolated and capped so the rest of the house keeps its water, and the soil pipe is sealed to stop smells. If there are no isolation valves, the water may be off to the whole house for a short time. If the bathroom has your only WC, raise it at the survey so the toilet comes out as late as possible.
