Working in Cannock

As well as Cannock itself (WS11 and WS12), we survey in Great Wyrley, Burntwood and Bloxwich.

Across a large town like Cannock, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Cannock bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down. Landlords in Cannock can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation.

Supplies across most of Staffordshire are 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

Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
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

Decisions to make first

Strip-out only or with prep

Strip-out only leaves walls and floors as found. With prep, walls are boarded or patched and the floor checked and overlaid, ready for fitting.

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.

Is the water hard in Cannock?

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.
