Working in Peterlee

In Peterlee we cover SR8; we also cover Seaham, 5.5 miles away, and Hartlepool.

Peterlee gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Fit-only work in Peterlee is quoted the same way as supply and fit: an itemised written quote after a survey of the room. For Peterlee bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is.

Water across much of County Durham is 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.

What the job includes

Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
Fitting the suite, furniture, screen and accessories, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use

Decisions to make first

Delivery timing

Having everything delivered and checked before the start date avoids a half-finished room while a missing part is sent again.

Making good

Decide whether you want the quote to cover making good and decorating, or to stop at the tiles so you can paint yourself.

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.

What does a bathroom fitter do?

A bathroom fitter removes the old bathroom, installs new pipework and wastes, boards and prepares the walls, tiles, and fits the bath or shower, basin, WC, furniture and accessories. Electrical work in a bathroom is done by a qualified electrician, and any gas work, such as moving a boiler, by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
