Working in Worksop

We cover every part of Worksop, including S80 and S81, and nearby Dinnington (5.5 miles) and Retford (7.6 miles).

Homes in and around Worksop vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Worksop homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. If your Worksop bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down.

Supplies across most of Nottinghamshire 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
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
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.

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

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.

How do you get a cast-iron bath out?
