Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Westbury: free survey, written quote, one team. Landlords in Westbury can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. For Westbury 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

Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house

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.

Keep or lose the plaster

Tiles often come off leaving plaster that can be tiled again. If the plaster comes away with them, the wall is boarded or re-plastered.

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.

How do you get a cast-iron bath out?
