Working in Bromsgrove

We cover every part of Bromsgrove, including B60 and B61, and nearby Redditch (5.2 miles) and Droitwich (6.1 miles).

In Bromsgrove, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Bromsgrove, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first. Strip-outs in Bromsgrove include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.

Supplies across most of Worcestershire are moderately hard. Mid-tone grout and matt tiles hide the odd water mark better than dark grout and high gloss. 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
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories

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.

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.

How long does a bathroom strip-out take?

Is the home survey in Bromsgrove really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you take the old bathroom away?

Yes. The old suite, tiles, boards and packaging are taken away by a licensed waste carrier as part of the strip-out. Whoever you use, ask how they dispose of the waste, because a householder can be held responsible if it ends up fly-tipped.
