Working in Wigston Magna
We cover every part of Wigston Magna, including LE2, LE8 and LE18, and nearby Oadby (1.8 miles) and Leicester (4.3 miles).
Homes in and around Wigston Magna vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Landlords in Wigston Magna can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Wigston Magna, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first.
Most of Leicestershire has hard water. 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
- A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
- The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
- Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
Rules that apply in England
