Working in Tamworth

In Tamworth we cover B77 and B78; we also cover Lichfield, 6.3 miles away, and Sutton Coldfield.

Across a large town like Tamworth, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. We time strip-outs in Tamworth for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products. For Tamworth 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

Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off

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.

Timing

Strip out just before the fit rather than weeks ahead, so the house is without a bathroom for as short a time as possible.

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 home survey in Tamworth really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you take the old bathroom away?

Yes. The old suite, tiles, boards and packaging are taken away by a licensed waste carrier as part of the strip-out. Whoever you use, ask how they dispose of the waste, because a householder can be held responsible if it ends up fly-tipped.
