Working in Weston-super-Mare
In Weston-super-Mare we cover BS22 and BS23; we also cover Burnham-on-Sea, 7.5 miles away, and Clevedon.
Across a large town like Weston-super-Mare, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. For Weston-super-Mare homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. Landlords in Weston-super-Mare 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 Somerset 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
- 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
- Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
- A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
Decisions to make first
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.
The floor
Old vinyl or tiles on a ply overlay can come up with the ply. Tiles bonded to a screed may need grinding back or overlaying instead.
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.
