Working in Rugby

As well as Rugby itself (CV21 and CV22), we survey in Daventry, Coventry and Bedworth.

Rugby has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. We time strip-outs in Rugby for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Rugby, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first.

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

Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed

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 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.
