Working in Halewood

As well as Halewood itself (L26), we survey in Speke, Hunts Cross and Allerton.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Halewood: free survey, written quote, one team. Strip-outs in Halewood include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Halewood, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first.

Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. 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

Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
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

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

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.

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.
