Working in Birkenhead

We work right across Birkenhead — CH41, CH42, CH43 and 4 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Liverpool and Bootle.

In a city the size of Birkenhead, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Birkenhead bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down. Strip-outs in Birkenhead include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.

Supplies across most of Merseyside are soft. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. 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

Decisions to make first

Asbestos testing

In a home built before 2000, a sample test before work starts settles whether a ceiling coating, floor tile or boxing panel needs specialist removal.

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

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 there asbestos in my bathroom?

If your home was built before 2000, there may be. The likely places are textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids and boxing panels. You cannot tell by looking, so a sample test before strip-out is the safe way to find out. If asbestos is found, a specialist deals with it before the rest of the work goes ahead.
