Working in Sunbury-on-Thames
We work right across Sunbury-on-Thames — KT12, TW16 and TW17 — and in neighbouring Walton-on-Thames and West Molesey.
In Sunbury-on-Thames, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Landlords in Sunbury-on-Thames can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. If your Sunbury-on-Thames bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down.
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
- The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
- Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
- A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
