Working in Bloxwich

In Bloxwich we cover WS2, WS3 and WV12; we also cover Walsall, 2.4 miles away, and Great Wyrley.

Homes in and around Bloxwich vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Bloxwich homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. Landlords in Bloxwich can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation.

Hardness differs from one part of the West Midlands to the next. Mid-tone grout and matt tiles hide the odd water mark better than dark grout and high gloss. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks

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.

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 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 the water hard in Bloxwich?

What happens to the water and toilet during a strip-out?

The bathroom supplies are isolated and capped so the rest of the house keeps its water, and the soil pipe is sealed to stop smells. If there are no isolation valves, the water may be off to the whole house for a short time. If the bathroom has your only WC, raise it at the survey so the toilet comes out as late as possible.
