Working in Shrewsbury

We work right across Shrewsbury — SY1, SY2 and SY3 — and in neighbouring Wellington and Telford.

Across a large town like Shrewsbury, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. We time strip-outs in Shrewsbury for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products. Strip-outs in Shrewsbury include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.

Most of Shropshire has moderately hard water. Mid-tone grout and matt tiles hide the odd water mark better than dark grout and high gloss. 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
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.
