Working in Newcastle under Lyme
We work right across Newcastle under Lyme — ST5 — and in neighbouring Stoke-on-Trent and Longton.
Newcastle under Lyme 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 Newcastle under Lyme can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. Strip-outs in Newcastle under Lyme include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.
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
- Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
- The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
- 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
Salvage
If you want to keep a cast-iron bath, a radiator or a piece of furniture, say so before we start, so it comes out whole rather than in pieces.
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.
