Across a large town like Scunthorpe, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Scunthorpe, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first. If your Scunthorpe bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down.

Most of Lincolnshire 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

The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
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.

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.

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.
