Working in Wellingborough
We work right across Wellingborough — NN8 — and in neighbouring Rushden and Kettering.
Homes in and around Wellingborough vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Landlords in Wellingborough can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. We time strip-outs in Wellingborough for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products.
Supplies across most of Northamptonshire are 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
- Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
- Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
- Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
- A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
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.
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 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.
