Working in Kidsgrove

In Kidsgrove we cover ST7; we also cover Biddulph, 3.3 miles away, and Congleton.

Homes in and around Kidsgrove vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Landlords in Kidsgrove can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. For Kidsgrove homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out.

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

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
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks

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.

How do you get a cast-iron bath out?

A cast-iron bath can weigh well over 100 kg, so it is usually broken up in place with the room protected, unless you want to keep it. Taking one out whole needs several people, a clear route and care on the stairs. Tell us at the survey if you want it saved.
