Water in County Durham
Supplies across most of County Durham are moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
Rules for bathrooms in England
A like-for-like bathroom refit does not need planning permission. Electrical work in a bathroom must meet BS 7671, with RCD protection and IP-rated fittings near the bath and shower, and new taps, toilets and showers must meet the water fittings rules.
In England, new circuits and most changes to wiring in a room with a bath or shower are notifiable under Part P, so a registered electrician certifies them. New drainage or a new extractor where there was none can also be building regulations work; we tell you at the survey and handle the notification.
