Working in Caernarfon

We work right across Caernarfon — LL55 — and in neighbouring Bangor and Holyhead.

Caernarfon gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Landlords in Caernarfon can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. If your Caernarfon bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down.

Most of Gwynedd 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

Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed

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.

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.

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.

How do you get a cast-iron bath out?
