Working in Stoke-on-Trent
We work right across Stoke-on-Trent — ST1, ST2, ST3 and 3 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Newcastle under Lyme and Kidsgrove.
Stoke-on-Trent is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. We time strip-outs in Stoke-on-Trent for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Stoke-on-Trent, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first.
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
- 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
- Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
