Working in Brierley Hill
In Brierley Hill we cover DY2, DY5 and DY8; we also cover Stourbridge, 2 miles away, and Dudley.
In Brierley Hill, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Landlords in Brierley Hill can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. Strip-outs in Brierley Hill include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.
Water hardness varies across the West Midlands: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. 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
- 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
- Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
- Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
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.
Keep or lose the plaster
Tiles often come off leaving plaster that can be tiled again. If the plaster comes away with them, the wall is boarded or re-plastered.
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.
