Working in Kingswinford

In Kingswinford we cover DY5, DY6 and DY8; we also cover Brierley Hill, 2.3 miles away, and Stourbridge.

Kingswinford gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Kingswinford, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first. For Kingswinford homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out.

Supplies across the West Midlands range from soft to hard depending on the source. 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

Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
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.

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 the water hard in Kingswinford?

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.
