Working in Leek

We cover every part of Leek, including ST13, and nearby Biddulph (6.4 miles) and Congleton (8.9 miles).

Leek gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Strip-outs in Leek include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Leek, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first.

Water across much of Staffordshire 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

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
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories

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.

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 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.

Do you cover ST13 in Leek?

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.
