Working in Coalville

In Coalville we cover LE67; we also cover Loughborough, 7.7 miles away, and Swadlincote.

Homes in and around Coalville vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Coalville homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. We time strip-outs in Coalville for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products.

Water across much of Leicestershire is 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

Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
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

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Coalville?

What happens to the water and toilet during a strip-out?

The bathroom supplies are isolated and capped so the rest of the house keeps its water, and the soil pipe is sealed to stop smells. If there are no isolation valves, the water may be off to the whole house for a short time. If the bathroom has your only WC, raise it at the survey so the toilet comes out as late as possible.
