Working in Redditch

We work right across Redditch — B96, B97 and B98 — and in neighbouring Bromsgrove and Shirley.

Redditch has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. For Redditch homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. Landlords in Redditch can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation.

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

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
Waste loaded and taken away by a licensed waste carrier
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber

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.

Strip-out only or with prep

Strip-out only leaves walls and floors as found. With prep, walls are boarded or patched and the floor checked and overlaid, ready for fitting.

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.

Bathroom strip-out in Redditch: questions

Is the home survey in Redditch really free?

Do you cover B96 in Redditch?

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.
