Working in Telford

As well as Telford itself (TF4), we survey in Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and Wednesfield.

Across a large town like Telford, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Telford, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first. For Telford homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out.

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

Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

What is the price of a bathroom strip-out in Telford?

Is the water hard in Telford?

Who handles building control for a bathroom strip-out in Telford?

Building control for Telford is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Can I strip out my own bathroom?

You can, but cap every supply properly, have the electrics made safe by an electrician, and test for asbestos first in a home built before 2000. The waste must go to a licensed waste carrier or a household waste site that accepts it. Some fitters prefer to do the strip-out themselves so they know exactly what they are fitting onto, so ask yours first.
