Working in Blaydon-on-Tyne
As well as Blaydon-on-Tyne itself (NE15, NE21 and NE40), we survey in Whickham, Newburn and Newcastle upon Tyne.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Blaydon-on-Tyne: free survey, written quote, one team. For Blaydon-on-Tyne homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. We time strip-outs in Blaydon-on-Tyne for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products.
Water across much of Tyne and Wear is soft. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. 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
- Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- 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
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.
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.
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.
