Working in Hunts Cross

As well as Hunts Cross itself (L19, L24 and L26), we survey in Allerton, Halewood and Speke.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Hunts Cross: free survey, written quote, one team. For Hunts Cross homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Hunts Cross, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first.

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

Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier

Decisions to make first

Salvage

If you want to keep a cast-iron bath, a radiator or a piece of furniture, say so before we start, so it comes out whole rather than in pieces.

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.

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.

Bathroom strip-out in Hunts Cross: questions

What is the price of a bathroom strip-out in Hunts Cross?

A bathroom strip-out in Hunts Cross usually costs £550–£1,700 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

How long does a bathroom strip-out take?

Is the home survey in Hunts Cross really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover L19 in Hunts Cross?

Yes. We cover all of Hunts Cross, including L19, L24 and L26, and nearby Allerton, Halewood and Speke. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
