Working in Great Yarmouth
We work right across Great Yarmouth — NR29, NR30 and NR31 — and in neighbouring Norwich and East Dereham.
In Great Yarmouth, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Great Yarmouth homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. We time strip-outs in Great Yarmouth for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products.
Water across much of Norfolk is very hard. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. 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
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
