Working in Egham

We cover every part of Egham, including TW20, and nearby Staines (2 miles) and Chertsey (3.6 miles).

Homes in and around Egham vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Egham homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. Strip-outs in Egham include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.

Most of Surrey has hard water. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber

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.

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.
