Haslemere gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Haslemere bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Haslemere, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first.

Supplies across most of Surrey are hard. 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

Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories

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.

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.

What happens to the water and toilet during a strip-out?

The bathroom supplies are isolated and capped so the rest of the house keeps its water, and the soil pipe is sealed to stop smells. If there are no isolation valves, the water may be off to the whole house for a short time. If the bathroom has your only WC, raise it at the survey so the toilet comes out as late as possible.
