Working in Ebbw Vale

We cover every part of Ebbw Vale, including NP23, and nearby Merthyr Tydfil (7.5 miles) and Blackwood (7.6 miles).

In Ebbw Vale, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Ebbw Vale bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down. We time strip-outs in Ebbw Vale for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products.

Water hardness varies across Gwent: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. 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
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
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

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.
