Across a large town like Walsall, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with.

We time strip-outs in Walsall 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

Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber

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.

Asbestos testing

In a home built before 2000, a sample test before work starts settles whether a ceiling coating, floor tile or boxing panel needs specialist removal.

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 home survey in Walsall really free?

Do you take the old bathroom away?

Yes. The old suite, tiles, boards and packaging are taken away by a licensed waste carrier as part of the strip-out. Whoever you use, ask how they dispose of the waste, because a householder can be held responsible if it ends up fly-tipped.
