Working in Halesowen

In Halesowen we cover B62, B63 and B64; we also cover Bartley Green, 2.4 miles away, and Brierley Hill.

In Halesowen, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Halesowen homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. Landlords in Halesowen can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation.

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

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
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off

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.

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.

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.
