Working in Neath

As well as Neath itself (SA7, SA10 and SA11), we survey in Briton Ferry, Clydach and Swansea.

In Neath, 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 Neath, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first. Landlords in Neath can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation.

Water across much of West Glamorgan 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

Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
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.

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 Wales

In Wales, a strip-out is not building regulations work on its own. If the room is going back to brick ahead of structural or drainage changes, those parts go through building control under the Welsh regulations.

Is the home survey in Neath really free?

Do you cover SA7 in Neath?

Yes. We cover all of Neath, including SA7, SA10 and SA11, and nearby Briton Ferry, Clydach and Swansea. 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.
