Working in Haywards Heath
We work right across Haywards Heath — RH16 — and in neighbouring Burgess Hill and Crawley.
In Haywards Heath, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Haywards Heath homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. Strip-outs in Haywards Heath include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.
Water across much of West Sussex is hard. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. 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
- Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
- Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
