Working in Havant

As well as Havant itself (PO9), we survey in Emsworth, Waterlooville and South Hayling.

Homes in and around Havant vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Havant bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Havant, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first.

Water across much of Hampshire is hard. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. 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
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house

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.

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 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.

Is the water hard in Havant?

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.
