Working in Warminster

In Warminster we cover BA12; we also cover Westbury, 3.9 miles away, and Frome.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Warminster: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Warminster bathroom is upstairs, the stairs and landing are protected before anything heavy comes down. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Warminster, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first.

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

Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
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.

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 Warminster?

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

Building control for Warminster 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.
