Working in Barry

We cover every part of Barry, including CF62 and CF63, and nearby Penarth (5.5 miles) and Cardiff (7.1 miles).

Homes in and around Barry vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Landlords in Barry can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. We time strip-outs in Barry for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products.

Water across much of South Glamorgan is moderately hard. 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
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Wales

In Wales, a strip-out is not building regulations work on its own. If the room is going back to brick ahead of structural or drainage changes, those parts go through building control under the Welsh regulations.

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.
