Working in Great Malvern
As well as Great Malvern itself (WR14), we survey in Ledbury, Worcester and Tewkesbury.
In Great Malvern, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Landlords in Great Malvern can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. Strip-outs in Great Malvern include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.
Water across much of Worcestershire is 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
- Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories
- Wall and floor tiles taken off with as little damage as possible to sound plaster
- Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
- Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
