Working in Rotherham

In Rotherham we cover S60, S61, S64 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Rawmarsh, 2.2 miles away, and Wath upon Dearne.

Rotherham has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. Landlords in Rotherham can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. For Rotherham homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out.

Water across much of South Yorkshire 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
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
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.

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.

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.
