Working in Redhill

We cover every part of Redhill, including RH1 and RH2, and nearby Reigate (1.5 miles) and Horley (4.6 miles).

Homes in and around Redhill vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We time strip-outs in Redhill for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products. For Redhill homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out.

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

Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Redhill?

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.
