In Golborne we cover WA3, WA12 and WN4; we also cover Newton-le-Willows, 1.9 miles away, and Ashton in Makerfield.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Golborne: free survey, written quote, one team. For Golborne homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. We time strip-outs in Golborne for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products.

Water across much of Merseyside is 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

A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster

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.

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.

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 the water hard in Golborne?

What happens to the water and toilet during a strip-out?

The bathroom supplies are isolated and capped so the rest of the house keeps its water, and the soil pipe is sealed to stop smells. If there are no isolation valves, the water may be off to the whole house for a short time. If the bathroom has your only WC, raise it at the survey so the toilet comes out as late as possible.
