Working in Leeds

We work right across Leeds — LS1, LS2, LS3 and 16 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Batley and Dewsbury.

In a city the size of Leeds, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. Strip-outs in Leeds include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement. Landlords in Leeds can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation.

Most of West Yorkshire is supplied with soft water. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks

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.

Is the water hard in Leeds?

Who handles building control for a bathroom strip-out in Leeds?

Building control for Leeds is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Can I strip out my own bathroom?

You can, but cap every supply properly, have the electrics made safe by an electrician, and test for asbestos first in a home built before 2000. The waste must go to a licensed waste carrier or a household waste site that accepts it. Some fitters prefer to do the strip-out themselves so they know exactly what they are fitting onto, so ask yours first.
