Working in Billingham

We work right across Billingham — TS23 — and in neighbouring Stockton-on-Tees and Middlesbrough.

In Billingham, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Billingham en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit. If you live in a Billingham flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents.

Most of County Durham has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Billingham. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door
Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear

Decisions to make first

Door type

An outward-opening door frees floor space inside. A sliding pocket door saves space on both sides but needs a stud wall long enough to take the cassette.

Refit or new en-suite

A refit keeps the existing drainage and walls. A new en-suite costs more because the walls, waste route, fan duct and electrics all start from nothing.

Rules that apply in England

In England, a new en-suite brings in Part H for the new connection to the soil stack, Approved Document F for ventilation, at 15 litres per second intermittent or 8 litres per second continuous extract, and Part P for the new circuits. The electrician should be registered with a competent person scheme, or the work notified to building control. On a refit, avoid replacing the fan with a less effective one.

Is the water hard in Billingham?

Who handles building control for an en-suite in Billingham?

Building control for Billingham is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Is a macerator toilet OK in an en-suite?

A macerator is a legitimate option where gravity drainage cannot reach the soil stack, as long as there is another WC in the house on gravity drainage. It needs an electrical supply, makes some noise while it runs and should only take toilet waste and paper. Models that also take the shower and basin waste are available.
