Working in Lytham St Annes
We work right across Lytham St Annes — FY4 and FY8 — and in neighbouring Blackpool and Poulton-le-Fylde.
In Lytham St Annes, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Lytham St Annes bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down. Landlords in Lytham St Annes can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation.
Water across much of Lancashire is soft. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. 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
- Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
- The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
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.
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.
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.
