Working in Middlesbrough
As well as Middlesbrough itself (TS1, TS2, TS3 and 3 more postcode districts), we survey in Billingham, Stockton-on-Tees and Thornaby-on-Tees.
Across a large town like Middlesbrough, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. We time strip-outs in Middlesbrough for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Middlesbrough, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first.
Most of North Yorkshire has moderately hard water. Mid-tone grout and matt tiles hide the odd water mark better than dark grout and high gloss. 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
- Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
- 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
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.
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.
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.
