What the job includes

A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories

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.

Salvage

If you want to keep a cast-iron bath, a radiator or a piece of furniture, say so before we start, so it comes out whole rather than in pieces.

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.
