Working in Waterlooville
We work right across Waterlooville — PO7, PO8 and PO9 — and in neighbouring Havant and Emsworth.
Homes in and around Waterlooville vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Waterlooville, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first. If your Waterlooville bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down.
Supplies across most of Hampshire are 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
- Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- 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
- Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
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.
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.
