Working in Salisbury

In Salisbury we cover SP1 and SP2; we also cover Romsey, 14 miles away, and Andover.

Salisbury is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. For Salisbury homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. We time strip-outs in Salisbury for just before the fit, so you are not left without a bathroom while waiting for products.

Water across much of Wiltshire 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

Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off

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.

Asbestos testing

In a home built before 2000, a sample test before work starts settles whether a ceiling coating, floor tile or boxing panel needs specialist removal.

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 there asbestos in my bathroom?

If your home was built before 2000, there may be. The likely places are textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids and boxing panels. You cannot tell by looking, so a sample test before strip-out is the safe way to find out. If asbestos is found, a specialist deals with it before the rest of the work goes ahead.
