Working in Droitwich

We cover every part of Droitwich, including WR9, and nearby Bromsgrove (6.1 miles) and Worcester (6.1 miles).

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

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

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

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.

The floor

Old vinyl or tiles on a ply overlay can come up with the ply. Tiles bonded to a screed may need grinding back or overlaying instead.

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.
