Working in Stretford

We work right across Stretford — M17, M32 and M41 — and in neighbouring Old Trafford and Urmston.

Homes in and around Stretford vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We time strip-outs in Stretford for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products. If your Stretford bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down.

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

A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Bathroom strip-out in Stretford: questions

How much should I budget for a bathroom strip-out in Stretford?

Is the water hard in Stretford?

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.
