Working in Chester-le-Street
As well as Chester-le-Street itself (DH2), we survey in Washington, Houghton-Le-Spring and Stanley.
In Chester-le-Street, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Chester-le-Street home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting. We survey in Chester-le-Street before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen.
Most of County Durham has moderately hard water. 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.
What the job includes
- Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
- Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
- A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
- Fitting the suite, furniture, screen and accessories, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
Decisions to make first
Fit-only or supply and fit
Fit-only lets you choose and buy every product yourself; supply and fit puts sourcing, deliveries and returns on us, with one price for everything.
Same layout or new
Keeping the layout keeps labour in the £2,200 to £4,000 range; moving the WC, shower or basin adds pipework and days.
Rules that apply in England
In England, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 apply to the products you supply as well as to the installation. Electrical changes such as new lights or a fan are notifiable under Part P and are done by a registered electrician or notified to building control. New drainage or a new connection to the soil stack can be Part H work.
