Working in Royal Leamington Spa
We work right across Royal Leamington Spa — CV31, CV32 and CV33 — and in neighbouring Warwick and Kenilworth.
In Royal Leamington Spa, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Royal Leamington Spa, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first. For Royal Leamington Spa homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out.
Most of Warwickshire 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
- The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
- A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
- Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
- 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.
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.
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.
