Water across much of Nottinghamshire is 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. For Nottingham homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out.
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
- Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
- Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
- Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
Decisions to make first
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.
Asbestos testing
In a home built before 2000, a sample test before work starts settles whether a ceiling coating, floor tile or boxing panel needs specialist removal.
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.
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
Homes built before 2000 can contain asbestos in textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids and boxing panels, so suspect materials should be tested before strip-out if there is any doubt. Bathroom waste should be taken away by a licensed waste carrier. Disconnecting electrical items should leave every circuit safe and is a job for a qualified electrician, and any work near a boiler or gas pipe is for a Gas Safe registered engineer.
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.
