Working in Newport

In Newport we cover NP10, NP19 and NP20; we also cover Risca, 4.6 miles away, and Cwmbran.

Newport is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. Strip-outs in Newport include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement. For Newport homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out.

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

The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
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
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories

Decisions to make first

Keep or lose the plaster

Tiles often come off leaving plaster that can be tiled again. If the plaster comes away with them, the wall is boarded or re-plastered.

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.

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.

Who handles building control for a bathroom strip-out in Newport?

Building control for Newport is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Can I strip out my own bathroom?

You can, but cap every supply properly, have the electrics made safe by an electrician, and test for asbestos first in a home built before 2000. The waste must go to a licensed waste carrier or a household waste site that accepts it. Some fitters prefer to do the strip-out themselves so they know exactly what they are fitting onto, so ask yours first.
