Working in Newton-le-Willows
As well as Newton-le-Willows itself (WA2, WA3 and WA12), we survey in Golborne, Ashton in Makerfield and Haydock.
Newton-le-Willows gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We time strip-outs in Newton-le-Willows for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products. If your Newton-le-Willows bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down.
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
- A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
- Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
- Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
Decisions to make first
Timing
Strip out just before the fit rather than weeks ahead, so the house is without a bathroom for as short a time as possible.
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.
