Supplies across most of Lancashire are 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
- 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
- Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
- 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.
