Working in Hyde

We cover every part of Hyde, including M34, SK14 and SK16, and nearby Denton (1.6 miles) and Dukinfield (1.7 miles).

In Hyde, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Hyde, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first. If your Hyde 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

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

Is the water hard in Hyde?

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.
