Working in Burntwood

In Burntwood we cover WS7; we also cover Great Wyrley, 3.7 miles away, and Lichfield.

In Burntwood, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Burntwood bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down. Landlords in Burntwood can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation.

Most of Staffordshire 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
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks

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.

What happens to the water and toilet during a strip-out?

The bathroom supplies are isolated and capped so the rest of the house keeps its water, and the soil pipe is sealed to stop smells. If there are no isolation valves, the water may be off to the whole house for a short time. If the bathroom has your only WC, raise it at the survey so the toilet comes out as late as possible.
