Working in New Milton

We work right across New Milton — BH25 — and in neighbouring Christchurch and Bournemouth.

In New Milton, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Strip-outs in New Milton include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement. If you are fitting your own bathroom in New Milton, 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

Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

How long does a bathroom strip-out take?

Allow 1–2 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in New Milton.

Is the home survey in New Milton really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you take the old bathroom away?

Yes. The old suite, tiles, boards and packaging are taken away by a licensed waste carrier as part of the strip-out. Whoever you use, ask how they dispose of the waste, because a householder can be held responsible if it ends up fly-tipped.
