Working in Hartlepool
In Hartlepool we cover TS24, TS25 and TS26; we also cover Peterlee, 7.2 miles away, 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. If you want to lose the bath and gain storage in your Hartlepool bathroom, we show you both options before you decide. For homes in Hartlepool where the bathroom is the only one, we plan the work so the toilet is out of action for as short a time as possible.
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
- Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
- Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
- First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
- Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
Decisions to make first
Heating
A heated towel rail is standard. Electric underfloor heating under the tiles makes the room comfortable and dries the floor quickly.
Worktop
Laminate is the budget choice, quartz-effect and solid surface resist water and stains, and a moulded basin-and-top in one piece has no joints to clean.
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.
