Working in Hereford

In Hereford we cover HR1 and HR4; we also cover Ross on Wye, 11.6 miles away, and Leominster.

Hereford 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 Hereford include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement. For Hereford homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out.

Water across much of Herefordshire is moderately 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

Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier

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.

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 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.

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

Building control for Hereford 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.
