Working in Hartlepool

We work right across Hartlepool — TS24, TS25 and TS26 — and in neighbouring Peterlee and Billingham.

Hartlepool has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. A renovation survey in Hartlepool looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper. If you have just bought a house in Hartlepool, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust.

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

New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas

Decisions to make first

Heating

Moving the radiator, adding a heated towel rail or laying underfloor heating is simpler while the room is stripped.

Plaster or boards

Plaster suits dry walls that will be painted. Cement-based tile backer boards are the better base behind showers and under heavy tiles.

Rules that apply in England

In England, structural changes, new drainage or a new connection to the soil stack under Part H, and new circuits under Part P can all be building regulations work. A registered electrician can self-certify the electrics; structural and drainage work may need a building notice or a full plans application to building control.

Do I need building regulations approval for a bathroom renovation?
