Working in Melton Mowbray
We cover every part of Melton Mowbray, including LE13 and LE14, and nearby Oakham (9.4 miles) and Mountsorrel (11.5 miles).
Homes in and around Melton Mowbray vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Landlords in Melton Mowbray can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. Strip-outs in Melton Mowbray include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.
Supplies across most of Leicestershire are 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
- Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
- 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
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.
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.
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.
