In West Bromwich we cover B43, B64, B65 and 8 more postcode districts; we also cover Smethwick, 2.1 miles away, and Wednesbury.
West Bromwich has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your West Bromwich bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down. Strip-outs in West Bromwich include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.
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
- Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
- 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
- Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
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.
Timing
Strip out just before the fit rather than weeks ahead, so the house is without a bathroom for as short a time as possible.
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.
