Working in Cramlington

In Cramlington we cover NE22, NE23 and NE24; we also cover Bedlington, 3.1 miles away, and Blyth.

Homes in and around Cramlington vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Cramlington, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first. Strip-outs in Cramlington include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.

Most of Northumberland is supplied with soft water. 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

A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
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.

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.

Is there asbestos in my bathroom?

If your home was built before 2000, there may be. The likely places are textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids and boxing panels. You cannot tell by looking, so a sample test before strip-out is the safe way to find out. If asbestos is found, a specialist deals with it before the rest of the work goes ahead.
