Working in Newark on Trent
We work right across Newark on Trent — NG24 — and in neighbouring Grantham and Arnold.
Homes in and around Newark on Trent 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 Newark on Trent, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first. Landlords in Newark on Trent can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation.
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.
What the job includes
- The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
- 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
- A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
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.
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.
