Working in Bridgend

We cover every part of Bridgend, including CF31 and CF35, and nearby Porthcawl (5.7 miles) and Llantwit Major (7.6 miles).

Homes in and around Bridgend vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Bridgend, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first. Strip-outs in Bridgend include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.

Most of Mid Glamorgan 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
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories

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.

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 Wales

In Wales, a strip-out is not building regulations work on its own. If the room is going back to brick ahead of structural or drainage changes, those parts go through building control under the Welsh regulations.

How do you get a cast-iron bath out?
