Working in Reigate

As well as Reigate itself (RH1, RH2 and RH3), we survey in Redhill, Horley and Dorking.

Reigate gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Landlords in Reigate can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. For Reigate homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out.

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

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
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house

Decisions to make first

Salvage

If you want to keep a cast-iron bath, a radiator or a piece of furniture, say so before we start, so it comes out whole rather than in pieces.

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.

Bathroom strip-out in Reigate: questions

How much should I budget for a bathroom strip-out in Reigate?

A bathroom strip-out in Reigate usually costs £650–£2,000 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

How long does a bathroom strip-out take?

Is the home survey in Reigate really free?

Do you cover RH1 in Reigate?

Yes. We cover all of Reigate, including RH1, RH2 and RH3, and nearby Redhill, Horley and Dorking. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
