Leominster gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Strip-outs in Leominster include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.

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

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
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories

Decisions to make first

Strip-out only or with prep

Strip-out only leaves walls and floors as found. With prep, walls are boarded or patched and the floor checked and overlaid, ready for fitting.

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 there asbestos in my bathroom?

If your home was built before 2000, there may be. The likely places are textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids and boxing panels. You cannot tell by looking, so a sample test before strip-out is the safe way to find out. If asbestos is found, a specialist deals with it before the rest of the work goes ahead.
