Working in Caerphilly

We work right across Caerphilly — CF15 and CF83 — and in neighbouring Risca and Pontypridd.

In Caerphilly, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We time strip-outs in Caerphilly 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 Caerphilly, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first.

Hardness differs from one part of Gwent to the next. Mid-tone grout and matt tiles hide the odd water mark better than dark grout and high gloss. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
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
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier

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.

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 Wales

In Wales, a strip-out is not building regulations work on its own. If the room is going back to brick ahead of structural or drainage changes, those parts go through building control under the Welsh regulations.

Do you take the old bathroom away?
