Working in Radcliffe

As well as Radcliffe itself (BL9, M26 and M45), we survey in Whitefield, Prestwich and Bury.

In Radcliffe, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Strip-outs in Radcliffe include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Radcliffe, 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

Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
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.

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.

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.

Do you cover BL9 in Radcliffe?

Is there asbestos in my bathroom?

If your home was built before 2000, there may be. The likely places are textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids and boxing panels. You cannot tell by looking, so a sample test before strip-out is the safe way to find out. If asbestos is found, a specialist deals with it before the rest of the work goes ahead.
