Working in Wakefield

We work right across Wakefield — WF1, WF2, WF4 and 4 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Lofthouse and Ossett.

Wakefield is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. Landlords in Wakefield can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. If your Wakefield bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down.

Supplies across most of West Yorkshire are soft. 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
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Wakefield?

What happens to the water and toilet during a strip-out?

The bathroom supplies are isolated and capped so the rest of the house keeps its water, and the soil pipe is sealed to stop smells. If there are no isolation valves, the water may be off to the whole house for a short time. If the bathroom has your only WC, raise it at the survey so the toilet comes out as late as possible.
