Working in Lossiemouth

In Lossiemouth we cover IV31; we also cover Elgin, 5.1 miles away, and Buckie.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Lossiemouth: free survey, written quote, one team. Strip-outs in Lossiemouth include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement. We time strip-outs in Lossiemouth for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products.

Supplies across most of Moray 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

Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, removal work does not need a building warrant, but structural work, altering drainage or forming a new bathroom afterwards may. Where a warrant is needed, it has to be granted before that work starts, so plan the strip-out around it.

Is the water hard in Lossiemouth?

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.
