Working in Chester-le-Street
As well as Chester-le-Street itself (DH2), we survey in Washington, Houghton-Le-Spring and Stanley.
Homes in and around Chester-le-Street vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Chester-le-Street bathroom has pipes boxed in at odd angles, a fitted run is often the neatest way to hide them for good. Fitted furniture suits the many Chester-le-Street bathrooms that have to hold towels, toiletries and cleaning things for a whole household.
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.
What the job includes
- Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
- Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
- Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
- Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
Decisions to make first
Furniture finish
Matt or gloss lacquer, wood-effect, painted shaker or handleless. Darker finishes hide marks; lighter ones make a small room feel bigger.
Wall-hung or floor-standing
Wall-hung units show more floor and look lighter; floor-standing units give more storage and suit uneven walls.
Rules that apply in England
In England, new circuits and most electrical changes in a bathroom are notifiable under Part P, so they must be done by an electrician registered with a competent person scheme or notified to building control. If you are adding a new extractor fan, Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second as the usual intermittent extract rate.
