Working in Kidderminster
We work right across Kidderminster — DY10 and DY11 — and in neighbouring Stourport-on-Severn and Stourbridge.
Homes in and around Kidderminster vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Landlords in Kidderminster can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation. For Kidderminster homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out.
Most of Worcestershire has moderately hard water. 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
- Dust sheets and floor protection on the route out through the house
- Isolating the water and capping the supply to each fitting with a proper end, then checking for leaks
- A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
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.
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.
