Working in Ramsgate

We work right across Ramsgate — CT10, CT11 and CT12 — and in neighbouring Broadstairs and Margate.

In Ramsgate, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Landlords in Ramsgate can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. For Ramsgate homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out.

Water across much of Kent is very 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

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
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier

Decisions to make first

Timing

Strip out just before the fit rather than weeks ahead, so the house is without a bathroom for as short a time as possible.

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.

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.
