Working in Selby

We work right across Selby — YO8 — and in neighbouring Goole and Pontefract.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Selby: free survey, written quote, one team. For Selby homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. Landlords in Selby can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation.

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

Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
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
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

Who handles building control for a bathroom strip-out in Selby?

Building control for Selby is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Can I strip out my own bathroom?

You can, but cap every supply properly, have the electrics made safe by an electrician, and test for asbestos first in a home built before 2000. The waste must go to a licensed waste carrier or a household waste site that accepts it. Some fitters prefer to do the strip-out themselves so they know exactly what they are fitting onto, so ask yours first.
