Working in Devizes

We cover every part of Devizes, including SN10, and nearby Calne (6.1 miles) and Melksham (6.5 miles).

Devizes gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Devizes bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down. For Devizes homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out.

Supplies across most of Wiltshire are 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

Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
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
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber

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.

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.

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 Devizes?

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.
