Working in Earl Shilton

As well as Earl Shilton itself (LE9 and LE10), we survey in Hinckley, Nuneaton and Leicester.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Earl Shilton: free survey, written quote, one team.

What the job includes

Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
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
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Who handles building control for a bathroom strip-out in Earl Shilton?

Building control for Earl Shilton is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does a bathroom strip-out take?

Allow 1–2 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Earl Shilton.

How do you get a cast-iron bath out?

A cast-iron bath can weigh well over 100 kg, so it is usually broken up in place with the room protected, unless you want to keep it. Taking one out whole needs several people, a clear route and care on the stairs. Tell us at the survey if you want it saved.
