Working in Shoreham-by-Sea
As well as Shoreham-by-Sea itself (BN42 and BN43), we survey in Lancing, Portslade and Worthing.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Shoreham-by-Sea: free survey, written quote, one team. Strip-outs in Shoreham-by-Sea include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement. We time strip-outs in Shoreham-by-Sea for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products.
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
- Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
- Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
- Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
- Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
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.
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.
