Working in Coventry

In Coventry we cover CV1, CV2, CV3 and 3 more postcode districts; we also cover Kenilworth, 4.9 miles away, and Bedworth.

In a city the size of Coventry, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Coventry bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down. We time strip-outs in Coventry for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products.

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

Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
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
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster

Decisions to make first

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.

Strip-out only or with prep

Strip-out only leaves walls and floors as found. With prep, walls are boarded or patched and the floor checked and overlaid, ready for fitting.

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.
